John Reaper - Ronin Lyrics

28 years grown
Has never felt so old
Living life in seconds
Yeah the futures already gone
Nowhere left to run
I try to hold my own
But my past won't let me go
What's a man without his purpose
Memories feasting on my courage

I'd be lying if I said I was
Afraid
Of staring death right in the face
And tell him
Take my soul instead
I accept the consequence
What honor is there serving man
For petty trinkets
With the reaper I'll go ahead and take my chances

So long to honor
Don't even bother
I feel the water
The moonlight shines
Through the bottom

Fall out of line
Its all in due time
I don't know why
But for now I have to fight

I have to fight
To live my life
What's left inside
I have to try

So little time to settle in
Yet I have to be a man
Gotta Find a wife
And build a family
Be a slave to life's demands
What's the catch?
It's not like I even had a plan
Some nights I wonder where my life would be in someone else's hands
Let's not pretend it'd be far worse
You couldn't fathom all the nightmares that I keep
So many demons
How can I find peace
Numb to all I see
Selfishly I breath
I've lost a part of me
Don't you take this life for granted just so you can seethe

So long to honor
Don't even bother
I feel the water
The moonlight shines
Through the bottom

Fall out of line
Its all in due time
I don't know why
But for now I have to fight

Fall out of line
Its all in due time
I don't know why
But for now I have to fight

I have to fight
To live my life
What's left inside
I have to try
