I Do Not Fear

Death is at her doorstep but I do not let him in.

I do not fear him, I am not ready to let her go, I still want to win.

This sickness that claims her body, it will not take her soul.

I am a fighter and she loves to win, I wont let death take its toll.

She has so much more to accomplish with her life, why did it have to be her.

I will tell the reaper, please go away, I will get down on my knees and beg, I will do whatever you confer.

As I sit here and watch my love, struggling to keep her life, I pray to the gods above, please don't take my wife.

I don't want to greet the reaper, go knock on someone else's door.

Why must you bother her, take her away, she has a child to bear, a life to give to the world.

This child that is inside her, the child that is mine, our child deserves a chance, that child will carry on our bloodline.

Family and a True Love, that's what we all want. So Mr. Reaper, if you would kindly leave, go on to your next soul to take, for this one is not going anywhere on this particular eve.

Don't fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

LYRICS

All our times have come

Here but now they're gone

Seasons don't fear the reaper

Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are

Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper

We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper

Baby I'm your man...

Valentine is done

Here but now they're gone

Romeo and Juliet

Are together in eternity...Romeo and Juliet

40,000 men and women everyday...Like Romeo and Juliet

40,000 men and women everyday...Redefine happiness

Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like they are

Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper

We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper

Baby I'm your man...

Love of two is one

Here but now they're gone

Came the last night of sadness

And it was clear she couldn't go on

Then the door was open and the wind appeared

The candles blew then disappeared

The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid

Come on baby...and she had no fear

And she ran to him...then they started to fly

They looked backward and said goodby...she had become like they are

She had taken his hand...she had become like they are

Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

I LOVE this song so much, so much that it is my ringtone on my cellphone and I saw Blue Oyster Cult in concert at our local county fair!  This song is so bittersweet and beautiful, not about suicide at all, just about not fearing death when it knocks on your door. And those cowbells (listen to song sometime to hear them), come on, the song would not be the same without them!

P.S. (I am not much of a "storyteller" per say, but I do love to write! So I still hope you like my "Story" and Lyrics!)
