Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got so much time, don't talk to me about the afterlife
I'm gonna take what's mine, don't need to know what's on the other side
Don't need no white clouds, no white robes, no pearly gates, no halos
Just need some hot sun and cold steel with someone that I can feel
[Chorus]
I'm still dancing with destiny
I'm gonna put up a fight when they say come to the light
Don't talk to me about the afterlife
Don't talk to me about the afterlife
[Verse 2]
Black birds in the sky, they've been circling forever
I ain't saying goodbye, Death ain't going to catch me never
Don't need no undying choir, singing doves flying, bells ringing
Just need some big sky, a fire blazing, long nights and endless days
[Chorus]
Won't be a slave to destiny
I'm gonna get my kicks on this side of the Styx
Don't talk to me about the afterlife
Don't talk to me about the afterlife
I ain't going to the other side
Don't talk to me about the afterlife
[Verse 3]
I ain't scared if the end is coming
And I don't care if I have to keep running
I'm gonna hold on tight when Death comes gunning for me
I'm gonna fight, wanna live under the sun
[Verse 4]
Don't need no white clouds, no white robes, no pearly gates, no halos
No undying choir, singing doves flying, bells ringing
Just hot sun and cold steel with someone that I can feel
Big sky, a fire blazing, long nights and endless days
[Chorus]
Long nights and endless days
I'm gonna put up a fight when they say come to the light
Don't talk to me about the afterlife
Don't talk to me about the afterlife
I ain't going to the other side
Don't talk to me about the afterlife
