Now Is Not The Time
Jamie N Commons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Many years, I've left wanting that
Theres too many steps to your throne
I would have bathed in your waters child
But now the times have turned
But now is not the time, now is not the time

I feel her calling, calling at your door
Leaving on the right road, down on the killing floor

Well I've heard you calling, calling at your door
Leaving on the right road, down on the killing floor

Well I know the mask of your innocence
Would hide the darkest of hearts

7 years on your cotail
And now you're supposed to start

But now is not the time, now is not the time
I feel her calling, calling at your door
Leaving on the right road, down on the killing floor

Well I've heard you calling, calling at your door
Leaving on the right road, down on the killing floor
