- I'm Not Afraid To Die Lyrics / with translationsNobody knows what waits ahead
Beyond the earth and sky
Lie-d Lie-d Lie
I'm not afraid to die
And there the work of my own hand
Be broken by and by
Lie-d Lie-d Lie
I'm not afraid to die
Sometimes it finds me fast asleep
And wakes me where I lie
Lie-d Lie-d Lie
I'm not afraid to die
Forget my sins upon the wind
My hobo soul will rise
Lie-d Lie-d Lie
I'm not afraid to die
Lie-d Lie-d Lie
I'm not afraid to die
Beyond the earth and sky
Lie-d Lie-d Lie
I'm not afraid to die
And there the work of my own hand
Be broken by and by
Lie-d Lie-d Lie
I'm not afraid to die
Sometimes it finds me fast asleep
Lie-d Lie-d Lie
I'm not afraid to die
Forget my sins upon the wind
My hobo soul will rise
Lie-d Lie-d Lie
I'm not afraid to die
Lie-d Lie-d Lie
I'm not afraid to die
