  • 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 935

    (You can't break me) crush the fears of yesterday
    (You can't save me) barriers our trust will fade
    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

    Damned, watch the masses fall
    Burn it down, control 'em all
    (Let 'em bleed) make me crawl
    To daddy's little girl to read the writings on the wall
    While cast into the nothingness, the final curtain call

    (You can't break me) crush the fears of yesterday
    (You can't save me) barriers our trust will fade
    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

    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

    (You can't break me) crush the fears of yesterday
    (You can't save me) barriers our trust will fade
    I've stood in the dark, been waiting all this time
    While we damn the dead I'm trying to survive
    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 (die, die, die)
    Oh

    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 Writer/s: BRIAN HANER, JONATHAN SEWARD, MATTHEW SANDERS, ZACHARY BAKER
