“Two Hours Left”
[Verse 1]
One-thirty in the morning, telephone cuts the dark
Cold words through a speaker like a knife into the heart
“He’s got about two hours…”
Yeah, the room went dead and still
A countdown hanging over us
A doctor reading out my will
She drove through the silence with the devil in her eyes
Three A.M. and burning, carrying a war inside
They said, “What do you wanna do?”
Like the ending had been signed
But Angie stood there swinging fists
And looked death right in the eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
She said—
“Nobody touches anything till my family gets here”
Hell froze over for a second when she made herself clear
[Chorus]
I WASN’T SIX FEET UNDER!
I WASN’T FADING OUT!
THEY SAID I WOULDN’T MAKE THE ELEVATOR DOWN!
I HEARD THE REAPER CALLING
BUT MY NAME WASN’T DONE
SHE STOOD THERE LIKE A WARRIOR HOLDING THE SMOKING GUN
WHEN THE WORLD SAID “LET HIM GO!”
SHE SAID “HELL NO, NOT TONIGHT!”
SHE FOUGHT LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER
AND KEPT ME ALIVE!
[Verse 2]
My kids walked through the doorway with fear inside their bones
Everybody staring like they were saying their goodbyes alone
Then another voice came crashing in—
“He won’t make it upstairs”
“He won’t survive the surgery”
Death was filling up the air
Cut me open, stitch me together
Machines screaming in my veins
Multiple scars across my body
But I refused to break in chains
[Pre-Chorus]
They kept writing out my ending
But I kept ripping out the page
[Chorus]
I WASN’T SIX FEET UNDER!
I WASN’T FADING OUT!
THEY SAID I WOULDN’T MAKE THE ELEVATOR DOWN!
I HEARD THE REAPER CALLING
BUT MY NAME WASN’T DONE
SHE STOOD THERE LIKE A WARRIOR HOLDING THE SMOKING GUN
WHEN THE WORLD SAID “LET HIM GO!”
SHE SAID “HELL NO, NOT TONIGHT!”
SHE FOUGHT LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER
AND KEPT ME ALIVE!
[Bridge – stripped down then explodes]
You can cut my skin
You can stop my breath
You can drag me to the edge of death
But you don’t know me
You don’t know my blood
You don’t know the people that I love
I’M A FIGHTER!
I’M A SURVIVOR!
I’M THE SON OF EVERY SCAR I WEAR!
AND SHE’S THE FIRE!
SHE’S THE REASON!
SHE’S THE VOICE THAT SAID:
“HE’S STILL IN THERE!”
[Final Chorus]
I WASN’T SIX FEET UNDER!
I WASN’T FADING OUT!
THEY SAID I WOULDN’T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE SURGERY ROOM NOW!
BUT I’M STILL RIGHT HERE SCREAMING
WITH A HEART THAT WON’T DIE
BECAUSE SHE FOUGHT LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER
AND KEPT ME ALIVE!
[Outro]
Two hours left…
That’s what they said…
But fighters don’t die easy.
And love doesn’t quit.
