Cheating Death
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Quick to burn
But slow to learn
With every breath
Cheating death
Life's a stone
You've got to keep warm
Cause with every breath
It's cheating death
Breathe in, breathe out
Never look down
At that empty lake
That pit of snakes
That dream from which no one wakes
Times are tough
The water's rife
(Washed out to sea)
[?] You'll be
(Hold on to [?])
Cast out to sea
Wind, don't fail
Let it bend your self
Let the natural force
(Hold on to [?])
Blow you to safer shores
I never think of
Blinking, blink out of
This universe
The stars will burst
There's no reverse
This life's a curse
Just keep believing
Till your dying day
Don't let the night
And keep light in your way
You've got the strength to go on
Search in yourself and be strong
Search in yourself and be strong
Just keep believing
Till your dying day
Don't let the night
And keep light in your way
You've got the strength to go on
Search in yourself and be strong
Keep on searching on
Keep on searching on
Keep on searching on
Keep on searching on
Search in yourself and be strong
