Song lyrics
Artist: Blue Öyster Cult
Title: Don't fear the reaper
--------------------
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 

La, la, la, la, la 
La, la, la, la, la 

Valentine is done 
Here but now they’re gone 

Romeo and Juliet 
Are together in eternity 
Romeo and Juliet 
Forty thousand men and women everyday 
Like Romeo and Juliet 
Forty thousand men and women everyday 
Redefine happiness 
Another forty thousand comin’ 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 

La, la, la, la, la 
La, la, la, la, la 

Love of two is one 
Here but now they’re gone 

Came the last night of sadness 
And it was clear that she couldn’t go on 
And the door was open and the wind appeared 
The candles blew and then disappeared 
The curtains flew and 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 goodbye 
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

The original is always better than the re-make. Always. HIM's version could never be better than the Blue Oyster Cult. They own. This song owns.

Cowbell, cowbell cut it with the freakin' cowbell. Sure it's an amazing song, but there's more to it than just the cowbell. Sorry for the anger. It's still a good song, Great song.

Yeah trust me guys HIM hacked this song. I can't listen to HIM's version all the way through without getting angry. This song is so awesome I really got hooked on it after I watched Miracle. Blue Oyster Cult is such an awesome band!

A great song about love and suicide. Also inspired a awsome SNL skit.
