i'm sinking fast through the waters of time
i hold on to waht's left inside

the faded verse, the words we left behind
the fractured hands that hold
the lives we live, the story still unfolds
to rise above it all

rise through the dust, through the lives we' ve lost
to find forever
rise through the dust, awaken
to find forever gone

the faded verse, the poison in the vein
will one day reach the heart
there's only time, there's nothing left but time
to rise above it all

no time to wait, the hands are reaching high
bells will sing into the dead of night
wake from sleep, open your eyes
rise from the dust in our lives

and i hold on to what's left inside
