The Reaper Lyrics


The seeds you’ve grown to the world now shown,

And yet they have no place here.

They grow up in your image, they want to be just like you,

One day will you be so proud, when they hate like you too?

Bust into the children’s eyes, all your evil lies,

Seeds of hate grow deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and deeper,

Here comes the Reaper.

Guess there’s nothing left to do, this hate will destroy you.

So when they’re old, the book they’ll unfold,

Will it be the same that you gave them?

Shouldn’t that hate die on your shoulders?  How will this world be when they’re older?

Will you have made a difference at all?  I think not.

Bust into the children’s eyes, all your evil lies,

Seeds of hate grow deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and deeper,

Here comes the Reaper.

Guess there’s nothing left to do, this hate will destroy you.

When they’re born, they are innocent,

When they get old, some of that dies,

Grow a little more, they listen to you,

Now they’re bigots, well aren’t you happy,

They’re just like you, won’t see truth,

Your legacy is left with them.

Look at what you did, passed on what your parents gave to you,

And now you’re just like them.

Hasn’t this world seen enough of evil?  Hasn’t this world seen enough of hate?

Hasn’t this world seen enough of people being killed for their religion,

For their race, for their color?  It’s not fair, and you give it to them.

Thrust into the children’s eyes, all your evil lies,

Seeds of hate grow deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and deeper,

You will pay for the crimes you gave to me, left me with this insanity,

Your hatred was given to you, and now it’s passed to me,

I would like to see for myself, but the only way I can see is the way you gave me,

Now you’re dead, and this should be gone, but this hate goes on and on,

It goes on, so maybe it could end with me,

End with me.
