lyrics

if i should die before i wake
i pray dear lord my soul to take
but if you don't then that's okay

cos i will find another way
yeah i will try again someday
when i've got it figured out

i've let my heart grow full of hate
on such a bright and sunny day
i've let the street fill up with blood
without the word from up above
oh lord i hope it's not too late
will i not get a later date
oh no lord it's not too late
