Fates Warning - The Eleventh Hour lyrics

I know it's getting late But I feel I need to explain All the laughter and the lies Can't stay the fear or hide the pain Somewhere along the way We exchanged our dreams for selfish pride There was a common goal But somehow that vision has died Is it so hard to understand The facts that YOU ignore We've grown so tired of trying Wasting our time criticizing And nothing's easy anymore Nothing's easy anymore Is it too late to understand The writing that's on the walls While we watch time slip through our hands We're deaf to our own demands When the eleventh hour calls The eleventh hour calls And nothing's easy anymore When the eleventh hour calls The eleventh hour calls I know it's getting late But I feel I need to explain
