Shackled to the chains of time,
And doomed from the very start.
She waits to tear us apart;
We're shackled to the chains of time.

Day to day in a dream.
Pay no heed to the seasons' change.
Do our best through the wintertime cold,
To see the Spring come round again.
But time's running out -
And when that blow strikes home...

What to do when that day comes?
And who'll be the first to pass on?
And the one who's left here behind -
How on earth to carry on?
Living a desperate life
In a cold, lonely world.

Shackled to the chains of time,
And doomed from the very start.
She waits to tear us apart;
We're shackled to the chains of time.
