Reaper

Run fast
You have to get away
The violence is overflowing
In this place, you can't stay

If you think you can hide forever
Darling, you're dead wrong
Avoiding your death
Only works for so long

Take a few more hits
Tough it out again
But dear, you've got to realize
This is a battle you won't win

Because on you
He's dead set
Running again? 
The reaper will have you yet
