Hi,
Here's my lyrics to the Bond challenge.
Its not the normal thing I write about so I'd be grateful for any feedback or suggestions.

No Time to Die
The clocks strike midnight
The stage is set
For a deadly encounter
So please place your bet
In deep and its black
Guarded by ghosts it’s time to attack
There’s no time to die. Not even a second
There’s no time to cry, what’s done is done
A simple lie, no more goodbyes
Don’t ask permission or wonder why?
There’s no time to die
The payload is readied
The trap well set
Cross hairs are locked
It’s fire and forget
In deep and its black
Guarded by ghosts it’s time to attack
There’s no time to die. Not even a second
There’s no time to cry, what’s done is done
A simple lie, no more goodbyes
Don’t ask permission or wonder why?
There’s no time to die
There’s no going back
But behind your back
You won’t see that
I’ve found the crack
In deep and its black
Guarded by ghosts it’s time to attack
There’s no time to die. Not even a second
There’s no time to cry, what’s done is done
A simple lie, no more goodbyes
Don’t ask permission or wonder why?
There’s no time to die
The streets are all empty
Like a silent threat
Leave without trace
Or any regret

Neil - I like it a lot - lots of Bondish references, good rhymes (I think there will be a lot of "i" rhymes in this round of songs!)
It's interesting you and a few others have gone for the tough clinical Bond and not the romantic Bond (could also be the title that inspires this!)

It works for me. I don't have any nits. Sorry I couldn't be more critical.... :P ;D
