I
I feel the time is coming
I
I walk into your eyes
Oh, I dont care if the clock is turning
Cause Im going to the other side
You either die
Or you keep on burning alive
And I am burning
I
I walked a long long distance
I
Im feeling sore inside
Oh, I dont care if the sky is falling
Cause Ill never get to see the light
You either die
Or you keep on burning alive
And I am burning
And I am burning
