End of Time
Mary Courage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She whispered in my ear
My darling once again you'll sleep
This can't be my end
I've got so much more to see
And now I realize I don't want to go
Fight to the end of my time
Fight to the end of my grave
I go back in time
I need to see you again
Even though it's just for a word
My hearts are collapsing
Radiation tears me apart
And I feel myself drifting away
Fight to the end of my time
To the end of my dreams
Fight to the end of everything
[instrumental part]
Fight to the end of my time
To the end of my dreams
Fight to the end of everything
Fight to the end of us
And sing me to sleep
Fight to the end of everything
