Deathwish

Why am I down here I thought I was good Now facing the devil, I'm not so sure I lived it full Should be in heaven, but I'm in hell CHORUS: This is insane, the ball and the chain Oh no No time to cry, down here in the fire There's no rest for the wicked I'm shackled forever My soul left to burn Life is so strange, now the tables have turned I'm slaved to my master No freedom of choice Scream till I'm sick, but I can't hear my voice CHORUS Someone must help me This grind I can't take Please grant me wings so the shackles will break But there's no mercy Down here where I lie No granting of wishes, there is no respite

The old man he rocks slowly In his ancient chair The last sunset he'll ever see Dyes the sky blood red The twinkle in those old grey eyes Is very nearly gone But the smile remains upon his face Cause he knows he's won CHORUS: Old man, how can you smile at all You know the writings on the wall Old man, why do you smile at death As you draw your last breath Old man, what did you see That lets your spirit pass with ease Old man, think of the god that he's left As he draws his last breath Young ones often stop and stare At this figure from the past He beckons them to stop a while And tells them live life fast He says to take the whole world With a solid fist So when it comes your time to die There's nothing that you've missed CHORUS So he sits there still, Like a figure cut from stone It seems to the passers y, that he's cut from stone But he's got those memories, to take to where he'll go And as the light flickers out, he's at peace with the world He stands there, up on high And he stares St Peter, right in the eye The angel smiles, shakes his hand Grants him wings and says, come on in

They took my mind and let me live Should've taken my soul and let me live I never ever asked for this And they never offered to tell me why CHORUS: Oh I can't stand to live like this Deathwish If this is life, then I wanna die They strapped me down beneath the blade Should've cut out my heart and not my mind A puppet dancing on their strings I'm leaving now, I'm going to shut my eyes CHORUS then I want to fly I feel the cold, my time is here, it's time to go No sorrows, I cry no tears, time is going slow I leave behind a life of fear, never knowing why My eye's open, all is revealed, now I've got wings to fly And now I'm free to roam the world But it's too soon, it's not my time to fly Now no one can see my face I'm a lost soul, a spirit lost in time CHORUS Death, then I want life

We face the hell of darkest dreams They march for us across the sands No one left to count the years The curse he ruled me, now it may take my life My pulse is pounding, my throat is dry Into the battle, I let myself fly Pay the debt, with each I lay low Fighting for freedom, but times running slow CHORUS: Cut them down, kill them all Hear the screams, as they fall Each I kill, avenged death Desert sands, they run red My sword is bloody, nights drawing near The devil spawn, they sense my fear Under the moon, the end is so close Mistakes are fatal, to life that I love CHORUS
