Lust for Life won't help you to escape the price
Eventually you'll lose your grace
Lines will envelop your face
Mirrors reflect the pain
Time is beginning to gain
Forced to live without love - all attempts made in vain

When does this stop?
I can't just remain without an answer, somebody please must explain
Is there a destination beyond the ozone?
Is life a worthless journey into the unknown?

Your gift of life doesn't come without a price
Unwilling you kneel and pray
You can't escape your decay

Pleas won't make this stop
You grasp at the hands on the clock
Forced to participate
A game not meant to be played
You can't refuse to comply; you will eventually die

The clocks still tick, light begins to fade
Your bell will ring; your funeral march will play
Your worthless race against time
You'll find that you're helpless prey
The light you thought you would find
You're buried without a trace

When does this stop?
I can't just remain without an answer, somebody please must explain
Is there a destination beyond the ozone?
Is life a random journey into the unknown?

Life - the price - you pray
Does someone hear what you say?
Your gift of life doesn't come without a price
Unwilling you kneel and pray
Does someone hear what you say?

Hear my call -
The clocks still tick, light begins to fade
Your bell will ring; your funeral march will play
Your worthless race against time
You'll find that you're helpless prey
The light you thought you would find
You're buried without a trace

Forced to participate
A game not meant to be played
You can't refuse to comply
You will eventually die
