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
