Light's out – the game is over
The hour's getting late!
No time – for resolutions
Ya better get it straight!

Hard times – are getting closer
You're not the only one
A million voices falling silent
Before the rising sun!

"Hey" – call of the reaper
"Hey ya" – he's coming after you
"Hey" – call of the reaper
"Hey ya" – he's coming after you, you, you, you, you, you, you, and you!

Nightmare! Call of the reaper!
Nightmare! Oh no!

Now you think – your life is heaven
But it's a living hell
No way – you'll ever find it
In a wishing well

Your time – is getting closer
So don't ya mess around
Last chance – take it over
Before the put you down!

"Hey" – call of the reaper
"Hey ya" – he's coming after you
"Hey" – call of the reaper
"Hey ya" – he's coming after you, you, you, you, you, you, you, and you!

Nightmare! Call of the reaper!
Nightmare! Oh no!
Nightmare! When you're ready to die!
Nightmare! Call of the reaper!

"Hey" – call of the reaper
"Hey ya" – there's nothing we can do
"Hey" – call of the reaper
"Hey ya" – he's coming after you, you, you, you, you, you, you, and you!

Nightmare! Call of the reaper!
Nightmare! Oh no!
Nightmare! When you're ready to die!
Nightmare! Call of the reaper!
