lyrics

Were I face to face with doom 24 hours a day
I'd not have time to ponder my mistakes
Preoccupied by fright and planning my escape
Oh, were I face to face with doom 24 hours a day

Were I in the jaws of death 12 long months a year
I doubt if I'd desire to have you here
Bitten and embattled, but tears would fade away
Oh, were I face to face with doom 24 hours a day

I'd be just fine
If my life were on the line
I'd be OK
Dodging bullets night and day

Oh, but all's still uneventful
My empty hours spent
Choked on my repentance
Blinded by regret

 And my free time replays my crime
Like a silver medal vault
I can't forget my fault

Were I to take my final breath 7 days a week
I'd not care if our odds look slim and bleak
No wasted respiration begging you to stay
Oh, were I face to face with doom 24 hours a day

Were I face to face with doom 24 hours a day
I'd not have time to ponder my mistakes
Preoccupied by fright and planning my escape
Oh, were I face to face with doom 24 hours a day

Were I face to face with doom 24 hours a day
