Lyrics[]
"Reaper, Reaper", that's what people call me! Why?
'Cause they all die!
When I sing, I end their lives
You act as though payback makes you a noble man
Is that a fact?
Well, you're a goddamn Philistine! (x2)
Requiem eternal
Bullets right through the sternum
Lullaby to Hell, babe
Reaper's got your name!
Margaret is Greek, you geek
It means 'a pearl'; I'm a pure girl
Boys cannot crack this oyster shell, so go on
Whip around that sword like you're the best; it's such a bore
Another hero! Oh, please! (x2)
Requiem eternal!
Reaper has come, sinner!
Thigh-high socks are my absolute territory
Go on and drool; the Otaku cannot resist
You think the fire in your eyes makes you a tiger in disguise
Dream on, you goddamn pussy!
"Reaper, Reaper", that's what people call me! Why?
'Cause they all die!
When I sing, I end their lives
You act as though payback makes you a noble man
Is that a fact?
Well, you're a goddamn Philistine (x3)
