Burning Skulls Lyrics

In my time of dying
I don't want nobody to cry
All I want for you to do is to take me when I die

Meet me, Jesus
Meet me, meet me in the middle of the air
With these wings, help me lord
You better build me another pair
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus can make up
Jesus can make up
Jesus can make up that dying bed

In my time of dying
I don't want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is to take my body home
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus can make up
Jesus can make up
Jesus can make up my dying bed

In my time of dying
I don't want nobody to cry
All I want for you to do is to take me when I die

Meet me, Jesus
Meet me, meet me in the middle of the air
With these wings, help me lord
You better build me another pair

In my time of dying
I don't want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is to take my body home

Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus better make up
Jesus better make up
Jesus better make up that dying bed

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is not "Burning Skulls", this is "In My Time Of Dying" (originally by Led Zeppelin).
