Blue Öyster Cult - (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)

40,000 men and women every day
(Like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women every day
(Redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming every day

(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 she couldn't go on

Then 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)

I am 72 and still love this song....one of my old favorites. 💙

[Cherrybee]

I was 16 back in 1979. Im 62 now, Thank God i listened to my instinct.

[toMidnight]

If you told me in ‘79 that I’d be listening to this at 63…well you know the rest. God bless you all and never fear the reaper!
Thank you kindly for the post.

Fantastic band. Takes me back to better times. Certainly musically. ❤

[johnnyholland]

Close your eyes and just listen to the words and let the music take you to another place and time. I am 65 and this is what it does to me. Can't remember when I first heard it but anytime it plays I listen intently. Play on BOC play on...

This song played on the radio on the way home from my dad's funeral I couldn't thank the cosmos more for such a fitting song

[SuperZorbo]

I used to listen to Blue Oyster Cult a lot “back when “”. GREAT Artwork.
Thank you. 👍

I'm 60 years old and I still love it❤

[johnwattdotca]

This is the only song I ever played in a band where we decided after playing it the first time we weren't going to try again. Yes, I was the only guitarist.

[musicgodesss]

I immediately think of " More Cowbell" 😁😁👍

[anthonycherry-tn]

Such a great song, and the video is outstanding! This song always makes me think of Steven Kings "The Stand"

[KynaSwails]

You're right we shouldn't fear the reapers for they are just guides to the next step in our journeys

"Она меня за муки полюбила, а я её за состраданье к ним". Хорошая композиция. Видео как всегда на высоте👏
