it's time
Virgin Snatch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We'd like to dedicate this song in loving memory of Witold "Vitek" Kiełtyka

The time is coming
It came to pass one fateful day
Still remaining
I still see Your skills
I have to dry my tears
The time was running
Why did You give no hint that day?
Did You loose the path?
Or Did You go astray?

IF I COULD BREAK DOWN THESE FUCKING WALLS
SHOUT YOUR NAME AT HEAVEN'S GATE
& CALLING YOU AND CHANGE THE FATE

The time is coming
Another pack of cigarettes
The smoke is running
But Heaven. Forever
Waits for those who're young

The time is running
I can't believe You will not be here alive
Waking up and falling asleep

EVERY BREATH CAN BE THE LAST
FORTHCOMING MEMORIES
OUR LIFE HAS GONE TOO FAST
STILL RUNNING. FOLLOWING

I CANNOT MAKE UP THE FIRE
I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE PARADISE
YOU ARE WANTED STILL ALIVE

Why cannot you shoulder the blame
The river meets the sea again
So don't ask me about tomorrow

Now there is nothing left to say.
You grow much stronger every day
The shadow still resembles you





[Solo: Vogg (Wacek Kiełtyka)]

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Time" by Virgin Snatch is a tribute to Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka, who was the drummer for the metal band Decapitated. He passed away on November 2, 2007, in a tragic car accident while on tour in Russia. The lyrics express the band's grief and sense of loss over the untimely death of their friend and fellow musician.


The song opens with the line "The time is coming," which refers to the inevitability of death and how it came to pass on that fateful day. The lyrics then express the feeling of Vitek's skills still lingering, and the need to dry tears. The singer wonders why there were no hints that Vitek's time was running out and speculates whether he lost his way or went astray. The chorus expresses the singer's desire to break down walls, shout out Vitek's name, and change fate.


The second verse begins with the line "The time is coming, another pack of cigarettes," which suggests a sense of continuity even in the midst of loss. The singer acknowledges that Heaven forever waits for those who are young and expresses disbelief that Vitek will never be alive again. The chorus hints at the fleeting nature of life and how memories remain as life speeds by. The final lines of the song express a sense of frustration over the inevitability of death and the inability to bring Vitek back to life.

Ta piosenka może być dla Virgin Snatch tym czym dla Metalliki było "Nothing Else Matters". Jeżeli miecz przechowuje wojownika to instrument robi to samo z duszą muzyka. Słychać jak dusza Vogg'a płacze...

kawałek genialny, a solo po prostu miażdży, aż ciary przechodzą po plecach ...
