When the Reaper Blinked, I Chose to Live

I saw the reaper staring me down, Cold eyes burning, no mercy found. But in the silence, the moment slipped, And I felt my soul refuse his grip.

When the reaper blinked, I chose to live, Took back the time I thought was his. Not a bargain, not a gift, When the reaper blinked, I chose to live.

The night was heavy, the fire low, I heard him whisper where I’d go. But I clenched my breath, I held my ground, And in his pause, my heart still found.

When the reaper blinked, I chose to live, Tore down the chains I thought were his. Not tomorrow, not the past, But a moment born to make it last.

(Wordless vocal hum echoes like a prayer)

When the reaper blinked, I chose to live, Not the grave, not the dust, not his. I carved my name where the sunrise is, When the reaper blinked, I chose to live.
