[Verse 1]

Time doesn't wait for anyone

It's tick-tick-ticking away

Ruthlessly like a bird of prey

Time has no pity for anyone

It just seems a bit slower today

[Chorus]

And we hope and pray

Stuck inside a frame

We kiss goodbye and play

The role of a dying flame

From the smallest spark to flaming embers in the dark

Besiege and beg and plead for time

[Verse 2]

Time is what we need, yet our share

It keeps slip-slip-slipping away

Through the cracks in the bricks of life we lay

No rhyme or reason, it just doesn't care

That maybe we could've saved the world today

[Chorus]

And we hope and pray

Stuck inside a frame

We kiss goodbye and play

The role of a dying flame

From the smallest spark to flaming embers in the dark

Besiege and beg and plead for time

[Bridge]

You can't run for cover

You can't buy your way out

You can't negotiate, it does not budge, back down in doubt

[Chorus]

And we hope and pray

Stuck inside a frame

We kiss goodbye and play

The role of a dying flame

From the smallest spark to flaming embers in the dark

Besiege and beg and plead

[Outro]

Time

Time

Time

Time
