Machine Head – Now We Die lyrics

[Intro:]
And with this now we die
And with this now we die
And with this now we die

[Verse:]
Standin' at the edge of the world, uncertainty callin' as the page unfurls
Fortune, heaven or hell, sheddin' my body of this mortal shell
Black steel and iron, a lion heart is forged from these bones
Fear not, the discontent you hide, awake from the slumber and define this time
No fear to pay the price and with this now we die

[Chorus:]
Ashes to ashes, the ocean crashes
Louder and louder it cries
Over and over the sands wash over
Facin', embracin' the tides and with this now we die
And with this now we die

[Verse 2:]
Screamin' violence into the void is anyone listenin' or is all destroyed?
Fightin' heaven and earth savin' your children from this pain and hurt
Blood stone and diamonds nothin' can break the strength of these stones
Cast off the shackles of the past live in the moment nothin' ever lasts
Now cross the bridge of sighs, and with this now we die

[Chorus:]
Ashes to ashes, the ocean crashes
Louder and louder it cries
Over and over the sands wash over
Facin', embracin' the tides and with this now we die
And with this now we die

[Verse 3:]
Are you ready to die? Standin' at the edge of the world
The damned are we abused and beat, we're left for dead
We raise our head
For we are strong, and they are wrong so scream with me I do believe
I need your help, for I have knelt, held fist at skies, and cried out why
Your shoulder strength, it gives me length, we lift ourselves, together meld

[Bridge:]
So take my hand, and don't look back and sing with me let new life be
Old life goodbye, and now we die for we are one
Forever young
And with this now we die and with this now we die
Are you ready?
I standin' at the edge of the world, standin' at the edge of the woooorld!
