Grim Reaper

Oh, be gone, grim reaper

You have no business here!

I shall not leave this world

With things undone, things unsaid

I will gladly follow

When the time is right

But that, be clear,

Is not tonight

While love commands my beating heart

And the fire of passion burns within

This life holds worth for me

My work remains unfinished

When I have nothing more to say

Then you may lead me away

You say I have no choice?

That fate demands I'm yours?

Well fate be damned, I heed it not

You shall not have your way

My soul is my unerring guide

That never wanders from my side

My spirit will defeat you

So turn around and leave

I am writing my own destiny

And it doesn't mention you

So go, grim reaper, go

When I'm ready, you will know
