"The Hours" lyrics

Everything you want from me
And everything I long to be
Are twisted up and torn
It must be written on the heart of men
To get back on our feet again
To brave another storm

I fight against the hours
I fight against the hours
Until it comes to pass
I stand until my strength is gone
And even then I carry on
Until I'm home at last

Everywhere you promised me
And everywhere I long to be
Are visions through the storm
It's hard to focus when the world's so loud
Enthralling me with sight and sound
But I will not be drawn

I fight against the hours
I fight against the hours
Until it comes to pass
Until it comes to pass
I stand until my strength is gone
And even then I carry on
Until I'm home at last

Day by day, my memory fades
And all the gains I made
Are drifting on the wind
Lost my way, my energy wanes
Until I feel no pain
But I can't stop the hurting

Destiny, don't let this dissolution get to me
Empathy, don't throw away the life that's meant for me

One by one, my thoughts are undone
Until my dreams are gone
Like shadows on the wind
Hope has flown
My plans are unknown
I try to call them home
But they won't stop deserting

Destiny, don't let this dissolution get to me
Empathy, don't throw away the life that's meant for me

Hours turn to days
Days fade away
I fight against the hours
(Hours turn to days)
I fight against the hours
(Days fade away)
Until it comes to pass
Until it comes to pass
I stand until my strength is gone
And even then I carry on
Until I'm home at last
Until I'm home at last
