I’d Rather Burn Than Disappear by Sweet Smoke Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1973

[Verse 1]
I'll wait 'til the sun break
Rememberin' my dream
I was bound inside the fire
I could hear myself scream

[Verse 2]
An old man was telling me
To bow my head and pray
As the flames were rising higher
I heard myself say:

[Chorus]
I've got nothing to fear
I'd rather burn than disappear

[Verse 3]
Then the king stood before me
With his ministers and priests
They rejoiced in the victory of their army, cross the sea
[Verse 4]
As they fill up the cups
In their envy and pride
A great wave of destruction is coming in
With the tide

[Prelude]
I've got nothing to fear (I've got nothing to fear)
I know there's a reason for being here

[Chorus]
I've got nothing to fear
I'd rather burn than disappear

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Released from my bondage
I flew up to the sun
And when the flames had devoured me
I knew, I had won

[Verse 6]
We are all still asleep
Until we realize our dreams
Ooh, yeah
Uh-huh, alright
[Chorus]
I've got nothing to fear
I'd rather burn than disappear
