lyrics

At the moment of your birth
From the safety of the womb
Cast out upon this earth
An infant cries too soon
In the moment of impact
From the fury of the storm
When the force begins to crack
In the mayhem of it all
There is no going back
When you’re up against the wall

Hear that rap-tap-tapping of the Reaper at your door...

"Hear that rap-tap-tapping when the Reaper’s at your door
The time has come, the ticking clock that you can’t ignore"

Hear that rap-tap-tapping of the Reaper at your door...

"It’s fight or flight my friend, in the end it’s all that you can do
In the moment of engagement when the maelstrom is on you"

In a massive thunderhead
There’s an F5 touching down
Darken vortex, spinning dread
Inhaling up the ground
When the sky begins to glow
From the conflict on the sand
Shock and awe the desert show
In the land of Abraham
Everybody’s got to go
When he stretches out his hand

Hear that rap-tap-tapping of the Reaper at your door...

Hear that rap-tap-tapping of the Reaper at your door...

"Northern winds that rip and blow within the blizzard of the snow
Freeze the lungs inside your chest, it’s so hard to catch your breath
Then all things will start to slow before you’re body’s letting go"

Hear that rap-tap-tapping of the Reaper at your door...

Hear that rap-tap-tapping of the Reaper at your door...

Hear that rap-tap-tapping of the Reaper at your door...
Hear that rap-tap-tapping of the Reaper at your door...

"Hear that rap-tap-tapping"

Hear that rap-tap-tapping of the Reaper at your door...

"Hear that rap-tap-tapping"

"Hear that rap-tap-tapping...when the Reaper’s at your door"
