Everything you
want from me
and everything
I long to be
are twisted up and torn
It must be written
on the heart of men
to get back on
our feet again
to brave another storm
I fight against the hours
I fight against the hours
until it comes to pass
I stand until
my strength is gone
and even then
I carry on
until I'm home
at last
Everywhere you
promised me
and everywhere
I long to be
are visions
through the storm
It's hard to focus
when the world's so loud
Enthralling me with
sight and sound
but I will not be drawn
I fight against the hours
I fight against the hours
until it comes to pass
I stand until
my strength is gone
and even then
I carry on
until I'm home
at last
Day by day
my memory fades
and all the gains I made
are drifting on the wind
Lost my way
my energy wanes
until I feel no pain
but I can't stop
the hurting
Destiny
don't let this dissolution
get to me
Empathy
don't throw away
the life that's
meant for me
One by one
my thoughts are undone
until my dreams are gone
like shadows on the wind
Hope has flown
my plans are unknown
I try to call them home
but they won't
stop deserting
Destiny
don't let this dissolution
get to me
Empathy
don't throw away
the life that's
meant for me
Hours turn to days
Days fade away
I fight against the hours
I fight against the hours
until it comes to pass
I stand until
my strength is gone
and even then
I carry on
until I'm home
at last
until I'm home
at last
