Lyrics Every Time I Die

Every Time I Die

1977

Melt the glaciers inside my veins.

Thaw my eyes, crack the glaze.

Trapped under ice at a fathomless depth

But I know I exist I can see my breath.

Come up to the surface, the ice age has past.

Hallelujah it is over at last.

A new day will follow a nuclear blast.

Hallelujah it is over at last.

Crossed the great divide

To sleep where most would die.

I'm on the lam for a fire theft.

I wasn't here, we never met.

Our shadows spread forever but they don't weigh anything.

Shake it off.

I can't ever go back but I will take it when I leave.

Shake it off.

I'll be waiting with a suitcase when the devil comes for me.

Shake it off.

One if by land, two if by sea.

Life isn't ours, we are property of life.

Life isn't ours, we are property of life.

So take what you can when you can while you can.

Take what you can when you can while you can.

Stare at the sun.

Look directly into the sun.

Stare at the sun.

Look directly into the sun.

It's over at last.
