I'm Not Ready to Die
There's a pale horse flyin'
Up around the bend
I can see it glidin'
No sound on the wind
When it stands before me
Says it's my time to ride
But I turn and walk away
'Cause I'm not ready to die
That horse has a rider
He says I belong in Hades
He's been waitin' for me
Today is the day
Has me bound and broken
On his horse I'm in chains
When I see my Mama's face
That's when I begin to pray
That pale horse finds me, again and again
And when I see it comin', I start runnin'
I can't outrun it, I can never hide
But I tell that pale horse, I'm not ready to die
Oh Lord, won't you help me?
I know I've left it late
But Lord, you're my saviour
You died in my place
Oh Father, please forgive me
I know your son you sent
No grave can hold the free
Oh, hear me, I repent
Fear has me swallowed
Like Jonah in the whale
My heart is what I followed
It was wicked and for sale
Death has come to claim me
And take me for his own
But when I open my eyes
I see the golden throne
That pale horse finds me, again and again
And when I see it comin', I start runnin'
I can't outrun it, I can never hide
But I tell that pale horse, I'm not ready to die
I tell that pale horse, I'm not ready, to die
Up around the bend
I can see it glidin'
No sound on the wind
When it stands before me
Says it's my time to ride
But I turn and walk away
'Cause I'm not ready to die
That horse has a rider
He says I belong in Hades
He's been waitin' for me
Today is the day
Has me bound and broken
On his horse I'm in chains
When I see my Mama's face
That's when I begin to pray
That pale horse finds me, again and again
And when I see it comin', I start runnin'
I can't outrun it, I can never hide
But I tell that pale horse, I'm not ready to die
Oh Lord, won't you help me?
I know I've left it late
But Lord, you're my saviour
You died in my place
Oh Father, please forgive me
I know your son you sent
No grave can hold the free
Oh, hear me, I repent
Fear has me swallowed
Like Jonah in the whale
My heart is what I followed
It was wicked and for sale
Death has come to claim me
And take me for his own
But when I open my eyes
I see the golden throne
That pale horse finds me, again and again
And when I see it comin', I start runnin'
I can't outrun it, I can never hide
But I tell that pale horse, I'm not ready to die
I tell that pale horse, I'm not ready, to die
