I'm Not Ready To Die

Evil yours, now evil mine
So I robbed you blind
The voices in my head
Suggest a less than peaceful sight
The endless possibilities
Controlling 9-3-5
You can't break me
Crushed the fears of yesterday
You can't save me
Barriers I 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 them bleed, make them 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
Crushed the fields of yesterday
You can't save me
Barriers I 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
Crushed the fears of yesterday
You can't save me
Barriers I 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
I'm not ready to die!
Not ready to die
Not ready to die
Not ready to die
I'm not ready to die...
