Between Life and Death is written by Valgrind for Iron Legacy [Intro] Where am I? I hear them calling… But I can’t see their faces. [Verse 1] I opened my eyes But nothing was there No walls around me No ground anywhere I called out my name Just to hear something real But the voice that came back Wasn’t mine [Pre-Chorus] Am I dreaming? Am I awake? One road to follow One choice to make [Chorus] Between life and death I’m standing alone Between life and death So far from home One voice says stay One calls me away I’m caught between life and death [Verse 2] I saw my reflection But it wasn’t quite me An old man was staring From somewhere unseen He opened his hand And pointed behind There stood every moment I’d left in my life [Pre-Chorus] Faces forgotten Names from the past Everything returns When you breathe your last [Chorus] Between life and death I’m standing alone Between life and death So far from home One voice says stay One calls me away I’m caught between life and death [Bridge] Then I heard someone calling From somewhere far away A voice I remembered Begging me to stay Then another voice whispered Softly in my ear: “You’ve walked far enough now… There’s nothing left to fear.” [Instrumental / Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Two roads before me One dark, one bright One leads to morning One into night I wanted an answer A reason, a sign But nobody chooses The ending but time [Breakdown] Then suddenly— A heartbeat One… Two… Three… [Final Chorus] Between life and death I hear my name Between life and death I’m breathing again The darkness retreats The morning breaks through I crossed between life and death [Outro] I opened my eyes And there you were But something came back With me…
