You knew you didn't have, a second to wait
Running out like your hair's on fire
'Cause you don't want to be ash on the pyre
Everybody else can give in to desire
No that's not for you
Chorus:
So you dash like mad and don't give it another thought
It'll run through your head when you're miles away
Never you stop before you get past the border
If you look back, you'll just be tempted to stay
You felt the weight of doom pressing down hard
Heard the whispers grow louder inside of your heart
Every hissing plea, every justification
Not to quit this place and refuse temptation
Listen to the voice that promises salvation
The only hope for you
Chorus
You were forewarned, so it's only your fault
If you get struck down or turn to salt
Petrified by every tear you cried
Captive of the sins you still deny
There is a way to make up for regrets
But time's running out, this is all that you get
Don't hesitate when heaven's at your door
Chase after Him until you can't feel the heat anymore
Chorus x 2
