Lyrics & Translation
I deceived the world for you
I lived the dream
That is now coming to an end
I was at the top for you
I fell to the ground for you
I lost my grip
But I swore to myself
Hell must wait
It’s not yet time for me to go
Despite all my actions, hell must wait
It’s not yet time for me to go
I lied for you
I twisted myself for you
I felt the fear
Led myself into nothingness
I would have died for you
As if there were no tomorrow for me
I lost track of time
But I swore to myself
Hell must wait
It’s not yet time for me to go
Despite all my actions, hell must wait
It’s not yet time for me to go
Because after everything that happened, I’m still here
There’s still so much for me to do
No matter what comes, I’ll take it all
Whatever happens, I’ll never give up
Hell must wait
It’s not yet time for me to go
Despite all my actions, hell must wait
It’s not yet time for me to go
Hell must wait
It’s not yet time for me to go
Despite all my actions, hell must wait
It’s not yet time for me to go
