This moment will too pass us by, it's this notion inside all of us
To prioritize through our selfish eyes
To be the bull behind the rampage, the reason for all the riot
We'll feed our flame before wasting time on everyone else's
With more problems and less pride
We'll feed our flame before wasting time on everyone else's
The gallows were not supposed to look like this
Oh God, we live in misery lying here in desperation
We need You here more than anything right now, right now
If everything's relative then why the emptiness in our souls?
If everything's relative then why the emptiness in our souls?
Trying to untie the knot we thought we were untying
Our entire lives we're busied up and burnt out
Everyone together we will strengthen ourselves
Everyone together we will strengthen ourselves
Everyone together we will strengthen ourselves, we will
Because now we know
You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still
You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still
Stop, listen and learn, stop, listen and learn
You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still
Stop, listen and learn
You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still
Stop, listen and learn
You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still
Stop, listen and learn
You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still
