Time

[Verse 1]
Time doesn't wait for anyone
It's tick-tick-ticking away
Ruthlessly like a bird of prey
Time has no pity for anyone
It just seems a bit slower today

[Chorus]
And we hope and pray
Stuck inside a frame
We kiss goodbye and play
The role of a dying flame
From the smallest spark to flaming embers in the dark
Besiege and beg and plead for time

[Verse 2]
Time is what we need, yet our share
It keeps slip-slip-slipping away
Through the cracks in the bricks of life we lay
No rhyme or reason, it just doesn't care
That maybe we could've saved the world today

[Chorus]
And we hope and pray
Stuck inside a frame
We kiss goodbye and play
The role of a dying flame
From the smallest spark to flaming embers in the dark
Besiege and beg and plead for time

[Bridge]
You can't run for cover
You can't buy your way out
You can't negotiate, it does not budge, back down in doubt

[Chorus]
And we hope and pray
Stuck inside a frame
We kiss goodbye and play
The role of a dying flame
From the smallest spark to flaming embers in the dark
Besiege and beg and plead

[Outro]
Time
Time
Time
Time
