Lyrics
40 Nights
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're living for today
But your future is looking bleak
One day it'll all come crashing down
Nothing lasts forever
You've only planned for the here and now
I said nothing lasts forever
Live fast, die young
Live fast and die young
It's what's ahead, but just remember
Slow and steady wins the race
So pick your head up and keep your mouth shut.
You are the captor of originality
You are the thief of authenticity
Respect is something that you'll never see
Everything you write all sounds the same
You're forsaken
Forsaken on this mountain
The bridges have turned to ash
This is your final hour
This is your great fall
You won't make it out alive
So say your dearest goodbyes
You are goliath standing firm in your light
We are david and you're in our sights (2x)
Your dreams have come true
Have you forgotten the reason why?
Life, death, dreams, wealth
Nothing lasts forever
Greed, envy, gluttony will amount to
Nothing lasts forever
The earth is about to quake (3x)
Brace for impact. run for the hills.
Brace for impact. it's a long way home.
Brace for impact. run for the hills.
You'll surely end here.
Goliath, we're screaming your name.
Goliath, we're coming for you
