Madonna has written some truly iconic pop songs. Her theme song to the 2002 Bond movie, Die Another Day, was sadly not one of them. It was a crime against Bond themes and the legacy of John Barry.
My long list of song ideas had "Bond theme" on it, so, I decided I would write an alternative theme for this great movie, using the film's plot to shape the lyrics. Here is (another) Die Another Day!
(Also, I'm back on schedule: 11 songs in 22 days. Three to go...
Die Another Day
A diamond that's paid for with blood,
Can buy you a sword.
But you're making a deal with the devil,
That you can't afford.
A spy for a spy,
The whole world goes blind,
As Icarus flies,
Into the sun's rays.
Fire from the sky,
Can't cut through these lines,
You live to die another day.
A palace that's built out of ice,
Will soon melt away.
A virtue that's built on a vice,
Will soon be betrayed.
A man who thinks all is lost,
Has nothing to lose,
You can run, you can hide from the past,
But you can't hide the truth.
A fight to the death,
With a familiar stranger,
No time to rest,
You're in grave danger.
