Not My Time to Die (NMT2D), lyrics by Colin H
Put me down
Keep me low
But God don’t let me go
Solitude romanticised
Lost in paradise
Every thought within my brain
Each heartbeat in my veins
Life without eternal time
It’s not my time to die
Keep me low
But God don’t let me go
Solitude romanticised
Lost in paradise
Every thought within my brain
Each heartbeat in my veins
Life without eternal time
It’s not my time to die
Bring me up to break me down
Lost deep under the ground
Scratching nails into the box
No keys to fit the locks
Trapped behind these solid walls
Can no one hear my calls?
Pushing back against the tide
Lost deep under the ground
Scratching nails into the box
No keys to fit the locks
Trapped behind these solid walls
Can no one hear my calls?
Pushing back against the tide
It’s not my time to die
Not my time to die
Oh-oh-oh I pray
One day you’ll be screaming my name
Not my time to die
Oh-oh-oh I pray
One day you’ll be screaming my name
Peeling scales off the skin
To slay the beast within
Standing Tall to pulverise
Things that paralyse
Pulling fragments of the pain
To fight and still remain
Rising from the flames so high
To slay the beast within
Standing Tall to pulverise
Things that paralyse
Pulling fragments of the pain
To fight and still remain
Rising from the flames so high
It’s not my time to die
Not my time to die
Oh-oh-oh I pray
One day you’ll be screaming my name
Knowing the truth will always be mine
It’s not my time to die
Not my time to die
Oh-oh-oh I pray
One day you’ll be screaming my name
Knowing the truth will always be mine
It’s not my time to die
It’s not my time to die
Not my time to die
It’s not my time to die
Not my time to die
Not my time to die
It’s not my time to die
Not my time to die
