Borrowed Time - Diamond Head

On scorched earth return me to be a simple man

I am destined by the gods to walk this land

An embittered poet, a slave to this black blade

Oh, my heart still searches for truth, a lost age

I have loved, I have lost

I have killed those who have loved me so

I have loved, at what cost

Lord, I don’t know

I’m living on borrowed time

I’m living on borrowed time

These robes, purple royal, claim me their own

From a city lost in dust, I stand alone

Evil thoughts;

evil minds;

must I live like I do?

Without fear, on borrowed time she helps me through

I have loved, I have lost

I have killed those who have loved me so

I have loved, at what cost

Lord, I don’t know

I’m living on borrowed time

I’m living on borrowed time

On scorched earth return me to be a simple man

I am destined by the gods to walk this land

To search for love, to search for love

All in my heart, is this enough love…

As Satan’s child, I stand alone in hand

I’m a nomad of this desert, barren lands

My time is short, wild gods of air and sea

Stand by your corruption, and thrive by sorcery

I have loved, I have lost

I have killed those who have loved me so

I have loved, at what cost

Lord, I don’t know

I’m living on borrowed time

I’m living on borrowed time

I’m living on borrowed time

I’m living on borrowed time
