The Reaper, The Butcher, The Boy Lyrics – Kyle Stibbs
Singer: Kyle Stibbs
Title: The Reaper, The Butcher, The Boy
Mama took me to the butcher
I was only a kid
She said “How much for the boy?”
He said “A couple of quid
He’s not very tall and his muscles ain’t big
But I’ll buy him for a couple.”
So that’s what he did
Hung me in the freezer by a couple of hooks
Then he said “It’s nothing personal.” with pitying looks
I smiled ’cause I had no friends around town
But I’m hanging with the Butcher now
Butcher put me on the cutting board
But before he could start
I said “I have a request, be delicate with my heart.”
I’m not very strong and I’m not very smart
So if I had to pick then it’s my favorite part.”
Cut me into pieces but he left my heart whole
Then a figure with a scythe came to carry my soul
I smiled ’cause I had no friends above ground
But I’m hanging with the Reaper now
The reaper said he sympathized
That I’d had a real hard life
Put my heart into his cloak
And said “We’ll find this a new home.”
But he still bought a steak for the road, oh no no
Fish of the sea
Will you take this heart? And they said “No.”
Creatures of the land
Will you take this heart? And they said “No.”
Birds above us
Will you take this heart? And they said “No.”
No where left to go
The Reaper took my heart in his boney hand and said
“A promise is a promise
You’ll walk the Earth again but not as man.”
He opened up his chest and put it in
I didn’t fear the Reaper, now I’ve become the Reaper
