Ok, here is my finished Bond Song. Had I managed to have any kind of success in the music industry, I would have badgered everyone associated with the Bond franchise to hire me until I was banned from ever releasing music again.
:-)
My brief was to write about life, comparing experiences to the flickering of a candle. Doesn't the wind often "blow through the doorway of our lives, creating all kinds of devastation? I've embraced images of struggling "adrift at sea." There is a plea for rescue so therefore, in keeping with the Bond theme of missions, I refer to an assignment "You must have been assigned to rescue me. My favourite lyric is "The wind blows through the doorway; it devastates the hall, tearing up the building as it falls."
So, here is another for my Bond collection that will once again disappear into obscurity but it was so much fun. Now, I'm looking forward to the next Bond movie and the challenge that the title presents.
Hope you enjoy my final produced version.

The candle slowly burns in the darkness of the night
It flickers, often fades then it returns.
The wind blows through the doorway,
It devastates the hall,
tearing up the building 'til it falls.
It's no time to die,
no time to concede.
No time to open up the wounds
and watch them bleed.
The candle slowly burns to the rhythm of a life
It flickers through your sadness and your strife.
We briefly learn to live.
Oftentimes we cry,
subjected to a multitude lies.
It's no time to die,
no time to concede.
No time to open up the wounds
and watch them bleed.
It's no time to die,
no time to concede.
No time to open up the wounds
and watch them bleed.
It's no time to die.
It's only when you're gone I feel adrift at sea.
You must have been assigned to rescue me.
It's only when the chips are down that colours show.
Before you go........
There's no time to die.
There's no time to concede.
No time to open up the wounds
and watch them bleed.
There's no time to die
There's no time to die.
There's no time to die.
