Ian Stuart - Living On Borrowed Time lyrics

From a window, directing dreams You just ignored your people’s screams You were a king, and she was your queen One more dictator in the corrupt East Then came the rise of the common Man His one strength was the love of his land Stood against bullets, as the clubs rained down Swore to bring the revolution around (chorus) You were living on borrowed time It’s time to run You were living on borrowed time Your time has come You never thought they would win The day Against the dreaded Securitarte Hidden tunnels and deadly lead To you it didn’t matter if the people got fed Marxist ideals leave a bitter Taste But you didn’t close every door in your haste Freedom’s foot was jammed in the door And now you’re losing a bitter war (chorus) Instrumental break (chorus) Your bloodstained flags are Tattered and torn As a another power-base is newly born Your evil empire came a’tumbling down The seas closed in and your power drowned Well Elena and Nicolae* How does it feel now it’s time to die? You never thought you’d hear the reaper’s call Shot to bits against a bloodstained wall (chorus) x2 For red scum! * Nicolae Ceausescu, Romanian Leader 1947 - 1989
