Battling the Years

[00:27.54] Time is surely growing shorter
[00:34.20] I work my fingers to the bone
[00:41.77] Hours pass without resistance
[00:48.36] Every day is here and gone
[00:54.97] I keep battling the years
[01:01.67] I fight for all the time I've wasted here
[01:09.23] But I'm pulling back my forces
[01:16.80] Because this battle can't be won
[01:22.53] You might earn yourself a fortune
[01:30.20] The finest diamonds you may choose
[01:36.02] But oh never will you earn your days back
[01:43.63] That is something you must lose
[01:50.34] And you may hear the masses cheering
[01:56.94] Spread your name from ear to ear
[02:02.71] But no sound requites the years behind you
[02:10.66] That is something you must lose
[02:30.58] Oh, the days when I was younger
[02:38.16] Every fear was out of sight
[02:43.69] The future always seemed so distant
[02:50.37] The future always seemed so bright
[02:57.95] I keep pushing 'round the bend
[03:04.58] I've no idea where this trail should end
[03:12.14] I won't know when I've arrived
[03:18.82] I'll keep on pushing till I die
[03:25.42] I might earn myself a fortune
[03:33.08] The finest diamonds I may choose
[03:38.77] But oh, never will I earn my days back
[03:46.34] That is something I must lose
[03:52.96] I might hear the masses cheering
[03:59.55] Spread my name from ear to ear
[04:04.94] But no sound requites the years behind me
[04:13.50] That is something I must lose
[04:20.16] That is something I must lose
[04:34.41]
