Time, my public enemy, deciding what I see A blessing and a curse for all mankind The wasted grip of death Is beaten by my breath I hold on to the diamonds in my mind, And everywhere I go, I gather up the snow and mix it with the rays of sunlight's fire So now the game is waiting The past is slowly fading But never will I let my treasures go Disillusion is an empty glass of broken reasons Taste the waters of the flowing streams and know that they are wondrous I don't want to fade away I don't want to lose the day Fight, obliterate the pain Appreciate the gain And understand that life is such a gift And time will take its toll While bearing down your soul But nothing ever can steal who you are I see it every day I'm not afraid to say That there is only one road paved with gold Intentions guide your path And deviate the wrath So undermine the chains that bind you Isolation is the beast that keeps you from ascending Find the road to everlasting peace and know that it is precious I don't want to fade away I don't want to lose the day I don't want to fade away I don't want to lose the day Someday soon the world will sing a different tune And all God's creatures will as one eclipse the moon I see it every day I'm not afraid to say That there is only one road paved with gold Intentions guide your path And deviate the wrath So undermine the chains that bind you Disillusion is an empty glass of broken reasons Taste the waters of the flowing streams and know that they are wondrous I don't want to fade away I don't want to lose the day I don't want to fade away I don't want to lose the day I don't want to fade away
