I'm sinking fast through the waters of time   I hold onto what's left inside      The faded verse, the words we left behind   The fractured hands that hold   The lives we live, the story still unfold   To rise above it all      [chorus]   Rise through the dust, through the lives we've lost   To find forever   Rise through the dust, awaken   To find forever gone      The faded verse, the poison in the vain   Will one day reach the heart   There's only time, there's nothing left but time   To rise above it all      [chorus]      No time to wait, the hands are reaching high   Bells will sing into the dead of night   Wake from sleep, open your eyes   Rise from the dust in our lives      And i hold onto what's left inside      Rise through the dust, awaken   To find forever gone
