Someday the statues will fall And so will we cause time will take us all It takes and it gives, it breaks and it mends It takes our friends and it makes us men We put up a fight, we're born to die The bell will toll that's its design The past dissolves, the present cries And we're running out of time
I won't sit and I won't wait The second hand won't seal my fate The world is a cage and its bars are made To bend and ultimately break Watch me escape The second hand gives chase To take me away someday But not today I'll stay right here today
And I will live And I will give Every breath like it was my last Cause time is just sand slipping through my grasp And I will live Oh I will
