Marina and the Diamonds – Immortal. Marina Lambrini Diamandis better known by her stage name Marina and the Diamonds, is a Welsh singer and songwriter. Born in Brynmawr and raised in nearby Pandy, she performed for choir productions in her childhood. In 2009, Diamandis came to prominence after being ranked in second place on the Sound of 2010 poll organised by the BBC. Her debut studio album The Family Jewels (2010) incorporated indie pop and new wave musical styles, while her follow-up record Electra Heart (2012) integrated prominent elements of electropop.

As part of Selfridges’ “Sound of Music”, Diamandis designed her own window display for the London Oxford Street branch in May 2010, and additionally appeared as a “live mannequin” for the display. In November, she was featured on the website for the British edition of Vogue, where she contributed to the “Today I’m Wearing” column that month. Wikipedia®.

Marina and the Diamonds – Immortal Lyrics:
V1
I WANNA BE IMMORTAL
LIKE A GOD IN THE SKY
I WANNA BE A SILK FLOWER
LIKE I’M NEVER GONNA DIE
I WANNA LIVE FOREVER
FOREVER IN YOUR HEART
AND WE’LL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER
FROM THE END TO THE START
PRE
THAT’S WHAT WE DO IT FOR
TO RESERVE A PLACE
IT’S JUST ANOTHER PART OF THE HUMAN RACE
THAT’S WHAT WE DO IT FOR
TO RESERVE A SPACE
IN HISTORY IT’S JUST
PART OF THE HUMAN RACE
RACE, RACE, RACE, RACE
CHORUS
I’M FOREVER CHASING AFTER TIME
BUT EVERYBODY DIES, DIES
IF I COULD BUY FOREVER AT A PRICE
I WOULD BUY IT TWICE, TWICE
BUT IF THE EARTH ENDS IN FIRE
AND THE SEAS ARE FROZEN IN TIME
THERE’LL BE JUST ONE SURVIVOR
THE MEMORY THAT I WAS YOURS AND YOU WERE MINE
EVERYBODY DIES
CHASING AFTER TIME
V2
WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEBODY
THEY’LL ALWAYS LEAVE TOO SOON
BUT A MEMORY, A MEMORY
CAN MAKE A FLOWER BLOOM
WE WANNA BE REMEMBERED
DON’T WANNA LIVE IN VEIN
BUT NOTHING LASTS FOREVER
THIS WORLD IS IN A LOSING GAME
PRE
I WANNA MEAN SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY ELSE
FEEL A SIGNIFICANCE IN THE REAL WORLD
IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO LIVE OUT A LUCKY LIFE
CHORUS
I’M FOREVER CHASING AFTER TIME
BUT EVERYBODY DIES, DIES
IF I COULD BUY FOREVER AT A PRICE
I WOULD BUY IT TWICE, TWICE
BUT IF THE EARTH ENDS IN FIRE
AND THE SEAS ARE FROZEN IN TIME
THERE’LL BE JUST ONE SURVIVOR
THE MEMORY THAT I WAS YOURS AND YOU WERE MINE
EVERYBODY DIES
CHASING AFTER TIME
MIDDLE 8
NO, I DONT WANNA BE AFRAID, AFRAID TO DIE
I JUST WANNA BE ABLE TO SAY THAT I HAVE LIVED MY LIFE
OH, ALL THESE THINGS THAT HUMANS DO
TO LEAVE BEHIND A LITTLE PROOF
BUT THE ONLY THING THAT DOESNT DIE IS LOVE
CHORUS
I’M FOREVER CHASING AFTER TIME
BUT EVERYBODY DIES, DIES
IF I COULD BUY FOREVER AT A PRICE
I WOULD BUY IT TWICE, TWICE
BUT IF THE EARTH ENDS IN FIRE
AND THE SEAS ARE FROZEN IN TIME
THERE’LL BE JUST ONE SURVIVOR
THE MEMORIES OF OUR LIFE TIME
EVERYBODY DIES
CHASING AFTER TIME
SO KEEP ME ALIVE. SO KEEP ME ALIVE. SO KEEP ME ALIVE
