Died for never ending love
For a vindictive god
For the hand I held
And the inner peace I sought

Died for secrets that I kept
I died from the words you said
Sometimes I'm dying
For another cigarette

But now's the time
To be alive
To be alive
Now's the time
To be alive
To be alive

I fell by the hands of love
Died for reasons I forgot
For the songs I wrote
For beauty you are dreaming of

Died for a stranger in my bed
With a bullet in my head
For a land that betrayed
Always dying to get laid

But now's the time
To be alive
To be alive
Now's the time
To be alive
To be alive

(Now's the time)

I would even die for you
I would if you asked me to
But now is not the time

Now's the time
To be alive
To be alive
Now's the time
To be alive
To be alive

(Now's the time)
