Despair! You come to me With your poison and your misery
Oh, death! You come to sting With your poison and your misery
[*Choir*] Death! Death! Death! Death! Death surrounds me! Singing to me softly! Death, it's shadows! Spreads its wings around me! In the night, close your eyes, or it will come! (Death, death, comes, it will come) *This is how it feels when you're bent and broken* *This is how it feels when your dignity is stolen* (singing to me softly) In the night, close your eyes, or it will come! (Death, death, comes, it will come) Creeping in the shadows, creeping in my mind Death! Death! Don't close your eyes!
John: Death surrounds My heartbeat's slowing down I won't take this world's abuse I won't give up or refuse This is how it feels when you're bent and broken This is how it feels when you're dignity's stolen When everything you love is leaving You hold on to what you believe in
Jen: The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye and then I heard you flatline
[Chorus (John and Jen):] No! Not Gonna Die tonight! We're gonna stand and fight forever! (don't close your eyes) No! Not Gonna Die tonight! We're gonna fight for us together! No we're Not Gonna Die tonight!
John: Break their hold 'Cause I won't be controlled They can't keep their chains on me When the truth has set me free This is how it feels when you take your life back This is how it feels when you finally fight back When life pushes me, I push harder What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger
Jen: The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye and then I heard you flatline
[Chorus]
John: Don't you give up on me You're everything I need
John and Jen: This is how it feels when you take your life back This is how it feels when you fight back
[Chorus]
John (Jen): No we're Not Gonna Die tonight! Not Gonna Die! (Not Gonna Die)! Not Gonna Die! (Not Gonna Die)! Not Gonna Die tonight!
