Since the first trailer came out earlier for the new Bond film I thought I'd touch up my lyrics for my version of the Bond song. There were a couple of places I just wanted to tweak, mostly to fit the tune better.
Nb. I've put spaces in the first verse because there are "mini instrumentals" (best I can put it at the moment) in between the lines there. Unlike the second verse where there aren't.
I still have the tune I wrote it to in my head and I'll have to record the vocals at some time (preferably when I'm drunk and don't give a toss!). You never know, someone here may like it enough to want to put some instruments to it (plus a sober, in-tune voice!). NO TIME TO DIEVerseWinter rages
Her frozen kisses poison on your lips
The choice you make is
To wage the war or close your eyes, give in
Your destination
The end of everything you’ve ever known
In contemplation
Pre-chorusYou make your move and hold your breath
Prepare to dive into the depths
ChorusIt’s hard to break the vicious circle
You have been here so many times
They try to beat you, try to hurt you
But still you stand and face the tide
And this is no time to die
VerseIn the shadows
Their eyes see everything your try to hide
Stare at the gallows
A fate that you have dodged time after time
I tried to warn you
You bleed like any other mortal man
And will they mourn you
Pre-chorusWhen everything comes crashing down
And you’re alone on hallowed ground?
ChorusIt’s hard to break the vicious circle
You have been here so many times
They try to beat you, try to hurt you
But still you stand and face the tide
And this is no time to die
BridgeWhen the illusion
Is finally revealed
When all the dust has settled
Whose fate will have been sealed?
INSTRUMENTALChorusIt’s time to play the hand they’ve dealt you
To place your bet and take your aim
It’s all you know, and you were meant to
Defeat the house at its own game
ChorusIt’s hard to break the vicious circle
You have been here so many times
They try to beat you, try to hurt you
But still you stand and face the tide
Post-chorusYou play for pride
And this is no time to die
There is nowhere left to hide
So stand and fight!
Cos in the end you know inside
That this is just no time to die
