Always moving forward By perpetual design Can't avoid the outcome Even if we try Youth is wasted on the young So the elders say ♪ Some will go the distance While others fade away An underestimated force Too powerful to tame Youth is wasted on the young So the elders say ♪ Youth is wasted on the young The elders say ♪ Time will tell the course we take Along the way Along the way ♪ Outside my window I see the children play Their lives have just begun As mine fades away Feels so cold So cold So cold So cold ♪ Return to earth, into ash The garden's cold moonlight The looming shadows would take the life that was mine The consequence of time To defy your will and suffer alone The only way out I see into the haunting silence The illusions behind your eyes Of hopes and dreams all forsaken Never to be realized The consequence of time The consequence of time The consequence of time So for the consequence of time To escape your eyes that follow in dream The void of the abyss stares into me To defy your will and suffer alone The only way out Return to earth, into ash By the garden's cold moonlight The looming shadows would take the life that was mine The consequence of time The consequence of time The consequence of time Suffer the consequence of time
