Time To Die Lyrics

And I have seen wonders
And I have seen miracles
Oh, I have seen some things
It's all lost to me now
Like tears in the rain

And I have seen sadness
And I have seen time run out
I've even seen men cry
It's all lost to me now
Like tears in the rain

And my memories
I can't give them away
So it's easy
Like a long long sleep
I'm so tired
Now it's my time to die
Welcome home
Welcome home

No exhibition
No screaming war songs
No conversation
No more opinions here

And I have seen new wars
And I have seen things
That you wouldn't believe
And I have seen my days
It's all lost to me now
Like tears in the rain

Cover art for Time To Die lyrics by Gary Numan

I always loved this song. Especially since it reminds me that Gary and I share a favorite movie: Blade Runner.

This song is essentially a synopsis of Roy Batty's (Rutger Hauer) final speech from "Blade Runner" where he is dying before Decker's (Harrison Ford) eyes. I get the impression that Gary related much to the Batty character. At least as much that Gary too has many indelible memories, both good and bad, that will be lost forever when he dies. As do we all, I suppose...
