歌词

[01:09.00] It's easy to say, when you're so down
[01:12.00] That everything's pointless;
[01:17.50] Your eyes burn, your ears howl
[01:21.50] Your limbs are disjointed
[01:27.00] Barren fields, the barren earth
[01:31.00] Never more will it flower
[01:35.00] Rub your face and your hands in the dirt:
[01:41.00] Now is the hour!
[01:44.00] So stand straight, looking over your shoulder;
[01:49.00] Walk on, though you fear to arrive;
[01:53.00] Don't wait till you know that it's over
[01:58.00] Be strong - it's your place to survive
[02:16.00] While the holocaust rages around you
[02:19.50] Be the eye of the storm;
[02:25.00] Though the extent of disaster astounds you
[02:28.00] Forearmed is forewarned
[02:33.50] You may have passed time in happier ways
[02:38.00] But there are other mountains to climb:
[02:42.50] You've never lived as you're living today -
[02:48.00] Now is the time!
[04:08.00] Stand straight, though your back breaks from trying
[04:13.00] Walk on - even now you must strive
[04:17.50] Don't wait - while you're waiting, you're dying;
[04:23.00] Be strong, it's your place to survive
[04:32.00] The universe is doubtless
[04:35.00] Unfolding just exactly as it should
[04:40.50] And these dreams of remorse or foreboding
[04:44.00] Just won't do you any good
[04:49.50] The joy, the passion, possessions you own
[04:54.00] The bitterness and the pain
[04:58.00] The end of everything you've ever known...
[05:04.00] All these are ordained
[05:07.00] Stand straight looking into the future
[05:12.00] Walk on - we've each got our own lives
[05:16.00] Don't wait for a guru or tutor
[05:21.00] Be strong - it's your place to survive
[05:25.00] Stand straight, looking over your shoulder
[05:29.50] Walk on: though it hurts, you're alive
[05:34.00] Don't wait...if you wait it's all over;
[05:38.50] Be strong - it's your right to survive
