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
He came last night out of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
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)
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
He came last night out of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
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)

[edit] Trivia
(Don't Fear) The Reaper was the song being "recorded" in the classic Saturday Night Live skit Behind the Music: Blue Oyster Cult starring Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell. This skit introduced the world to the line "I got a fever. And the only prescription...is more cowbell!" The catchphrase "More Cowbell" has since become a pop culture standard.
