Take a look at me
For I can barely breath
I'm suffocating slow
But no one seems to know

As my life drifts from me
I'm tearing at the seams

Carry on until the fire in my heart burns out
As long as a memory still survives
I will not fade, I will not fade today

Time is on to me
I'm billed by royalty
And down to my last breathe
I care for what I have left
Until my dying day the sacrifice I made

Carry on until the fire in my heart burns out 
As long as a memory still survives
I will not fade, I will not fade today

These breathless words
I keep them near
If I'm to die I'm glad not scared
These breathless words
I keep them near
If I'm to die I'm glad I'm here

Carry on until the fire in my heart burns out
As long as a memory still survives
I will not fade, I will not fade today
