Diamond Head Borrowed Time Lyrics

Borrowed Time Lyrics

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
