When the Clock Strikes Twelve

from Twelve Stories Down by Up For Nothing

/

lyrics

Where will you end up when the clock strikes twelve?
A story in the world that no one ever lives to tell
You’re the first to complain and the last to make a change
I’m the last to let go with the fire in my soul

Slow and steady wins the race I’m gonna spit your words back in your face
Now there’s a time to walk and there’s a time to fight
I’m gonna play this out until I get it right
Silence has replaced the fear that the world counts down and the end is near
Now the bombs are falling down with tides and thunder
If we don’t die first then we’ll kill each other

Over and over my mind goes through the end
Will the ocean, wind, or the terror threats win our thoughts from now to then
I want a peaceful night with a side of life to live on my own time
And if I fall before my time to go I’m gonna live before I die

I never wanted this to be
A life that’s been taken from me
Can’t close my eyes and run away
From all the lives that fell before they could become themselves

Slow and steady wins the race I’m gonna spit your words back in your face
There was a time to see the way the world should be
Those days are what you’ll never get to see
Violence has replaced the fear now the world counts down and the end is near
When the world is falling down you start to wonder
If the life you lived, lived through another
