  • When I leave this skin and bone
    Beyond my final heartbeat
    I'll dismantle piece by piece
    And I will know that death is not defeat

    When I leave this skin and bone
    Beyond my final heartbeat
    I'll dismantle piece by piece
    And I will know that death is not defeat

    Holding on tight to what's left of our time
    We've hidden away, but it's in the design
    Why do we fight what we can't define?
    Don't be afraid, we all cross the same line

    When I leave this skin and bone
    Beyond my final heartbeat
    I'll dismantle piece by piece
    And I will know that death is not defeat

    Into the night, we burn and rage
    In death, we repay for time on this stage
    The lights are bright, but don't lose your way
    'Cause once it ignites, the flame must decay

    Now you're finally complete
    I will see you where oceans meet
    Past and present merge, light and dark will converge
    Time will overthrow our, our reign on this throne
    The everlasting sleep returning through the veil
    Far beneath the deep, another soul sets sail

    When I leave this skin and bone
    Beyond my final heartbeat
    I'll dismantle piece by piece
    And I will know that death is not defeat
    When I leave this skin and bone
    Beyond my final heartbeat
    I'll dismantle piece by piece
    And I will know that death is not defeat Writer/s: Alex Dean, Dan Searle, Josh Middleton, Sam Carter
