God willing, this moment remains at large.

lyrics

CHORUS
Did anyone capture the moment
Or did we all try to forget
When the future stopped being a promise
And started becoming a threat

Did anyone switch on the lanterns
To cast it all in a new light
The road ahead fading in shadow
The past looking ever more bright

PRECHORUS
They say it gets better
It better do soon
I hate the new lessons I learn
For as we grow older
The time I've been killing
Is killing me now in return

CHORUS

Can anyone pinpoint the hour
We crossed the horizon of youth
Stopped ever on climbing to beauty
Descended to horrible truth

PRECHORUS

CHORUS

We never once changed our direction
We marched in a line to the grave
But we stopped looking forward to the journey
And hated the path that we'd pave

PRECHORUS

CHORUS
