Hours of sorrow
Fading fast before my eyes
Today, tomorrow, yesterday—all in one life
Days of happiness
Days of sadness
Come and go, passing me by
A month, a year, a hundred years—they fly
Oh, one day I'll be gone to start anew
No, and this world will stop turning with me too
'Cause time
Marches on
Marches on without us all
Never pauses
Yes, time
Marches on
Marches on and on and on
Eternally flies
Times of peace
Times of fight
Constant movement, that’s our life
Can’t stop now, not until we die
We crave more eternity, maybe there's another life
This one’s too short, no matter how we try
Oh, but never lose hope to live a good life
No, don’t waste your time making things worse
Time
Marches on
Marches on without us all
Never stops
Yes, time
Marches on
Marches on and on and on
Eternally flies
Please, please help me see
The best way to be
Change your world and live eternally
No more wasted years
No more wasted tears
Life’s too short to cry
Long enough to try
Time
Marches on
Marches on without us all
Never stops
Yes, time
Marches on
Marches on and on and on
Eternally flies
