Diamond Head - Borrowed Time (Remastered Version)

Song: Borrowed Time
Band: Diamond Head
Album: The Best Of
Year: 1999
Genre: Heavy Metal



On scorched earth return me to be a simple man
I am destined by the gods to walk this land
An embittered poet, a slave to this black blade
Oh, my heart still searches for truth, a lost age

I have loved, I have lost
I have killed those who have loved me so
I have loved, at what cost
Lord, I don't know
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time

These robes, purple royal, claim me their own
From a city lost in dust, I stand alone
Evil thoughts; evil minds; must I live like I do?
Without fear, on borrowed time she helps me through

I have loved, I have lost
I have killed those who have loved me so
I have loved, at what cost
Lord, I don't know
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time

On scorched earth return me to be a simple man
I am destined by the gods to walk this land
To search for love, to search for love
All in my heart, is this enough love...
As Satan's child, I stand alone in hand
I'm a nomad of this desert, barren lands
My time is short, wild gods of air and sea
Stand by your corruption, and thrive by sorcery

I have loved, I have lost
I have killed those who have loved me so
I have loved, at what cost
Lord, I don't know
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time

[jn6verse51]

this is 82 not 99 right?

[SlaytanicMegaforce]

@jn6verse51 Remastered in '99. It should be pretty obvious.

[hankaligali]

I love this song but at the same time I hate this. Because of the Remastered version, this sounds so weird when you compare it to original. Especially drums and guitar -.-

[SlaytanicMegaforce]

this version is way better imo

[kirkmetalupurass]

i fuckin love this song!!!

[Unicron]

man the original version is so much better



[RockNfuckinRoller97]

another classic from the same guy that uploaded the stooges discography

[jn6verse51]

@SlaytanicMegaforce i see clearly now

[xHeadbanger1000x]

a fucking classic.

[TheKirkhammett96]

Sometimes , i just wonder why Diamond head is not famous

[killemall13A]

Robert Plant the second.

[MAGNUM2F]

this was one of the best LPs of the 80's. although i liked Canterbury, it was compared to this unfairly. how do you make another Borrowed Time??

[corvettebmw]

do you feel better? i am talking about a mercyful fate show in 1984, and all you write back is why caps?
