Threshold - The Hours lyrics

(West, Anderson) 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 pa** 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 pa** 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 pa** I fight against the hours I fight against the hours Until it comes to pa** 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
