Nostradamus Would Have Wanted It This Way Lyrics

A time will come for this all to set
As the doctor brings in the morphine drip
Plug it in; I will watch it all fade away
And she will say â??Do I look alright before they take me awayâ?
â??Why notâ?, I reply, â??You painted the disguiseâ?
In disgust I turned my head never to look back again
Years have past, I still wonder why
We spend so much time fighting this life
Feet are wanting me to lay down
As the 11th hour comes to pass
My poisoned princess falls to her knees
At my hand this bottle still drips
If her tears could move mountains
This world would surely destroy me

One more time I thought
We would see the end
Together we will never see the night sky
Standing in this broken mirror
Fractions of seconds can change lives
