Lyrics & Story
Now Or Never
Lyrics
I spent my years behind a door Afraid of what was waiting for me I watched the daylight lose its shape And felt the silence slowly form me Every promise turned to stone Every dream was left alone I kept waiting for a sign While the dark was taking mine There is no tomorrow left to borrow No more time to drown in sorrow It’s now or never Rise or disappear Break the silence Face the fear No more hiding No surrender I either live Or fall forever It’s now or never This is where I stand I take the darkness In my hands I hear the footsteps of the past Moving closer through the night Every failure wears my face Every wound demands a fight I was waiting to be saved While I built my own decay Now the mirror tells the truth There is no one else to blame There is no tomorrow left to borrow No more time to drown in sorrow It’s now or never Rise or disappear Break the silence Face the fear No more hiding No surrender I either live Or fall forever It’s now or never This is where I stand I take the darkness In my hands I fed the doubt I fed the shame I gave the hollow All my name But I am done With being weak Tonight the buried Learn to speak No more waiting No more lies No more watching My own life die If I must fall I fall awake If I must burn I choose the pain It’s now or never Rise or disappear Break the silence Face the fear No more hiding No surrender I either live Or fall forever It’s now or never This is where I stand I take the darkness In my hands It’s now or never No second chance I choose the war I choose to stand The clock stops breathing The shadows sever I choose now Or never
