Lyrics
Time And Life
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.
Time is the power
The enemy hour
The soul survivor of the news
The headlines.
Life is a friend
I value its end
For I can take it when I choose
The deadlines.
Time and life
Will meet at dawn
The swords have been drawn
For the takers.
Time has no heart
It wins from the start
Was I so foolish
As to try to ignore it.
Life is complete
And proud in defeat
At last I understand
Why I adore it.
Time and life
Fight to the end
But life has to bend
To her makers.
