Just Watching Life Pass on By

A long time have cycled We're now grown up adults We've seen the seasons pass And our beloved die What remains of us now ? Only withering memories Where are you, golden days of yore ? Smells of primrose, jacinth, marigolds ? Where are you, bright nights of old ? Chant of crickets dancing and moths ? Light will shine aeons after us Stars will still grow up Even in summer, we feel so cold and numb Our limbs frozen by time Can you hear the clock ticking ? Can you feel our souls fading ? Can you see the stars circling ? Can you touch my fading skin ? Can you hear bombs exploding ? Can you feel the burning winds ? Can you see the world dying ? Can you touch our bones melting ? Even if now the skies are grey Full of despair and disarray Even if hope is fading away Light always chases the darkest days Even in summer, we feel so cold and numb Our limbs frozen by time Can you hear the clock ticking ? Can you feel our souls fading ? Can you see the stars circling ? Can you touch my fading skin ? Can you hear bombs exploding ? Can you feel the burning winds ? Can you see the world dying ? Can you touch our bones melting ?
