The Hours - Threshold

Everything you want from me

And everything I long to be

Are twisted up and torn

It must be written on the heart of men

To get back on our feet again

To brave another storm

I fight against the hours

I fight against the hours

Until it comes to pass

I stand until my strength is gone

And even then I carry on

Until I’m home at last

Everything you promised me

And everywhere I long to be

Are visions through the storm

It’s hard to focus when the world’s so loud

Enthralling me with sight and sound

But I will not be drawn

I fight against the hours

I fight against the hours

Until it comes to pass

I stand until my strength is gone

And even then I carry on

Until I’m home at last

Day by day my memory fades

And all the gains I made are drifting on the wind

Lost my way my energy wanes

Until I feel no pain but I can’t stop the hurting

Destiny don’t let this dissolution get to me

Empathy don’t throw away the life that’s meant for me

One by one my thoughts are undone

Until my dreams are gone like shadows on the wind

Hope has flown my plans are unknown

I try to call them home but they won’t stop deserting

Destiny don’t let this dissolution get to me

Empathy don’t throw away the life that’s meant for me

Hours turn to days

Days fade away

Until it comes to pass

I fight against the hours

I fight against the hours

Until it comes to pass

I stand until my strength is gone

And even then I carry on

Until I’m home at last

Until I’m home at last
