Brief Is The Light

The bells again...someone has died

The bells of the end toll to remind

that life´s but a race against time

At your back you´ll always hear

The Chariot of Time hurrying near

The faster you run the closer it comes

A pursuer you can not outrun

Hear these words I say:

- Make the most out of your day

For brief is the light on our way

On this momentary trail

Hear these words, awake:

- Make the most out of your day

For brief is the time, so brief is the time

that we´re allowed to stay

The bells again...whose turn this time?

To reach the end, yours or mine?

Each funeral just makes us realize

that life´s but a series of goodbyes

Hear these words I say:

- Make the most out of your day

For brief is the light on our way

On this momentary trail

(too late)

Hear these words I say:

- Make the most out of your day

For brief is the light on our way

On this momentary trail

Hear these words, awake:

- Make the most out of your day

For brief is the time, so brief is the time

that we´re allowed to stay

Life passes by, melts away like snow in the spring

We all are blind to the running of time
