Momma always told me
Better not play with ghosts
But they never follow rules
And they followed in my dreams
It's where I met the man
Who's always dressed in all black
Took my by the hand
And he lead me where the darkness lives
Chains on the walls
You can see where the bodies been
Tried to claim me
But the devil had other plans

My friend
It goes
My friend the reaper
My friend
It goes
My friend the reaper
My friend
It goes
My friend the reaper

Hardened black eyes
Crusted blood running down his nose
Better not cry when
The devil comes he's gonna know
Witness to things
That would drive off his edge
But we move on
Don't got time to stand on a ledge
Devil comes in and
Tells us that its time to go
Got his victim
And its time for them to lose their soul

My friend

My friend the reaper
My friend
It goes
My friend the reaper
My friend
It goes
My friend the reaper

I could never feel
The way that you do in light
Cos the reaper comes for me
And takes me in the night
