The Tiger Lillies - Reaper Called Death lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Reaper Called Death lyrics]
There is a reaper he is called Death
He sharpens his knife
So take your last breath cutting much better
Soon he will cut each one around you
Down will be shut
What today is still green and fresh stands
Tomorrow the noble is blown like the sand
The beautiful hyacinth the heavenly key
Cut down the flowers you die, you and me
Many hundred thousands
He cuts them and shows
What falls under the sickle:
The lily and the rose he will extinguish
The solid and the fickle your imperial crown
Falls under his sickle
Your money and power
Oh they won’t protect you
He cuts down the flowers his wind blew
Defiance of Death, i do not fear you!
Come here and cut, I don’t give a screw!
I shall be transported then I will wait
In the heavenly garden no fear for my fate
He sharpens his knife
So take your last breath cutting much better
Soon he will cut each one around you
Down will be shut
What today is still green and fresh stands
Tomorrow the noble is blown like the sand
The beautiful hyacinth the heavenly key
Cut down the flowers you die, you and me
Many hundred thousands
He cuts them and shows
What falls under the sickle:
The lily and the rose he will extinguish
The solid and the fickle your imperial crown
Falls under his sickle
Your money and power
Oh they won’t protect you
He cuts down the flowers his wind blew
Defiance of Death, i do not fear you!
Come here and cut, I don’t give a screw!
I shall be transported then I will wait
In the heavenly garden no fear for my fate
