Not Ready to Die

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Gone, cast away in time

Evil yours, now evil mine

So, I robbed you blind

The voices in my head suggest a less-than-peaceful side

Of endless possibilities controlling nine-three-five

[Pre-Chorus]

(You can't break me) Crushed the fears of yesterday

(You can't save me) Barriers, our trust will fade

[Chorus]

I've stood in the dark, been waiting all this time

While we damn the dead, I'm trying to survive

I'm not ready to die

[Verse 2]

Damned, watch the masses fall

Burn it down, control 'em all

(Help me) Make me crawl

To daddy's little girl to read the writings on the wall

While cast into the nothingness, the final curtain call

[Pre-Chorus]

(You can't break me) Crushed the fears of yesterday

(You can't save me) Barriers, our trust will fade

[Chorus]

I've stood in the dark, been waiting all this time

While we damn the dead, I'm trying to survive

I'm not ready to die

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Through the madness we find

Loyalty is no match for power

Say goodbye to your life

Left to rot in your darkest hour

Prayers won't help you now

As long as you're mine

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]

(You can't break me) Crushed the fears of yesterday

(You can't save me) Barriers, our trust will fade

[Chorus]

I've stood in the dark, been waiting all this time

While we damn the dead, I'm trying to survive

And I'll control the world

One person at a time

As I damn the dead, I'm trying to survive

I'm not ready to die

Oh!

[Outro]

I'm not ready to die

I'm not ready to die!

I'm not ready to die!

I'm not ready to die!

Ready to die!

Ready to die!

Ready to die!

Not ready to die!
