The Reign Of Kindo - Battling the Years lyrics

Time is surely growing shorter I work my fingers to the bone Hours pa** without resistance Every day is here and gone I keep battling the years I fight for all the time I've wasted here But I'm pulling back my forces Because this battle can't be won You might earn yourself a fortune The finest diamonds you may choose But oh never will you earn your days back That is something you must lose And you may hear the ma**es cheering Spread your name from ear to ear But no sound requites the years behind you That is something you must lose Oh, the days when I was younger Every fear was out of sight The future always seemed so distant The future always seemed so bright I keep pushing 'round the bend I've no idea where this trail should end I won't know when I've arrived I'll keep on pushing till I die I might earn myself a fortune The finest diamonds I may choose But oh, never will I earn my days back That is something I must lose I might hear the ma**es cheering Spread my name from ear to ear But no sound requites the years behind me That is something I must lose That is something I must lose
