Echo In Time
Time starts ticking the day we're born
Today is tomorrow's past
Yesterday is just a memory
That fades and never lasts
Everyday when the sun sets low
We're closer to the grave
Death keeps calling every hour
'Til we become his slave
While we're young we live forever
Living life to the fullest, we're bold
But one day soon time starts to fly
Then the grave awaits, we're old
Looking back we count our blessings
And curse the things we've lost
For time doesn't care who we are
And we all must pay the cost
Our life is only an echo in time
Destined to disappear
From birth to death then we're gone
Like we were never here
