Death lyrics

I love the feeling when we lift off

Watching the world so small below

I love the dreaming when I think of

The safety in the clouds out my window

I wonder what keeps us so high up

Could there be love beneath these wings?

If we suddenly fall, should I scream out?

Or keep very quiet, and cling to

My mouth as I'm crying

So frightened of dying

Relax, yes, I'm trying

But fear's got a hold on me

Yes this fear's got a hold on me

I love the quiet of the night time

When the sun is drowned in a deathly sea

I can feel my heart beating as I speed from

The sense of time catching up with me

The sky set out like a pathway

But who decides which route we take?

As people drift into a dream world

I close my eyes and my hands shake

And will I see a new day?

Who's driving this anyway?

I picture my own grave

'Cos fear's got a hold on me

Yes this fear's got a hold on me

Floating neither up or down

I wonder when I hit the ground

Will the earth beneath my body shake

And cast your sleeping heart awake?

Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies?

Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes?

I'll live on the right side and sleep on the left

That's why everything's got to be love or death

Yes this fear's got a hold on me
