lyrics

I to Realize (Prelude)----------------------
II to Understand-----------------------------

For so long I have seen
But just now have I seen
For the truth comes about
It doesn't care for me

The longest time you believe
That what you see will always be
It takes awhile to believe
That what you see won't always be

The time has truly come
The end in sight
What once was miles away
Is right next to you

The longest time you believe
That what you see will always be
It takes awhile to believe
That what you see won't always be

III to Remember-----------------------------

I can see it clear as day
The times when I used to be
Young and energetic
The body ready for action

They say bliss is ignorance
For it must be true
My best times in the youth

Yet not too soon after ignorance
Flies in the arrogance
And even sooner, off to war
Fighting, what a misery

What was the purpose
What did I gain?
What were the prizes
The death and agony

I was a changed man
I put the times behind me
But it was too unfortunate
No time was ahead to finish the job

Lucky to be alive
The change has made the difference
Only if it were to be sooner

IV to Regret-----------------------------------

Under a heaping stack of regret
I wishes cloud the sky
Can't I go back in time
Pursue the missed opportunity
Rewrite what you can still write

It'd be a different world
If everybody knew
The secrets to life
If they didn't waste every day

If I knew how rude I'd been
If I knew the ruthlessness of war
If I came to a conclusion earlier
If I kept my temple clean
If I lived that way

It'd be a different world
If everybody knew
The secrets to life
If they didn't waste every day

V to Hope--------------------------------------

I been through so much
I achieved so many goals
But to you I say
Don't squander it

VI To End--------------------------------------

Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time to begin again
