End of Time
Mary Courage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One night she spoke to me
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
To the end of my dream
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
