Max out the hose, and bang a gong
(No sleep until we are dream-fulfilled)
We've been adoze for damn too long
Soak up that oxygen
(Flame strong)
Wind up your time again
(Game's on)
Now is the finest when
Just try to fire as you spy the reds of my eyes at dawn
I'll weather the hail, lest I find two thirds of my life are gone
Keep stoked the fires behind the reds of your eyes at dusk
Keep clenched the fingers of time before they refine to dust
The unforseens are commandeering charge
(Still shakin' these harsh awakenings)
So gnash your teeth, then don your spear and targe
Fed up with bawlin' fits
(Hearts strong)
Chin up; no callin' quits
(March on)
Now we are all in this
Just try to fire as you spy the reds of our eyes at dawn
We'll weather the hail, lest we find two thirds of our lives are gone
Well-stoked, the fires behind the reds of our eyes at dusk
Well-kept, our capsules of time, until they decline to husk
Well, as we've seen, priorities'll change
Let not your prime focus be estranged
Take the lead while no act's prearranged
(Fuel-pump all your veins)
Vice-squeeze your fate
(Pale-knuckle the reins)
Reseize the day
For once in my life
I am alive
For once in our lives
We are alive
For once in our lives
We are alive
For once in our lives
We are alive
For once in our lives
