Hands of time are spinning

miles and miles rolling away in the dark

One more night defeated

paid our dues so we can leave our mark

but it takes forever

Wait for me, oh wait for me

though all is said and done

driven by desire to be number one

We rise, we fall

the writings on the wall

I don't want to live this life forever

It's all a game

It's always been the same

No one gets to live this life forever!

Seeds of fate are growing

like a vine creeping into the cracks

First comes the delusion

then reality will break you apart

without compensation

Wait for me, oh wait for me

though all is said and done

driven by desire to be number one

We rise, we fall

the writings on the wall

I don't want to live this life forever

It's all a game

it's always been the same

And no one gets to live this life forever!

We rise, we fall

the writings on the wall

I don't want to live this life forever!

It's all a game

it's always been the same

no one gets to live this life forever!
