Gather Up the Snow

Time, my public enemy, deciding what I see

A blessing and a curse for all mankind

The wasted grip of death

Is beaten by my breath

I hold on to the diamonds in my mind,

And everywhere I go,

I gather up the snow

and mix it with the rays of sunlight's fire

So now the game is waiting

The past is slowly fading

But never will I let my treasures go

Disillusion is an empty glass of broken reasons

Taste the waters of the flowing streams and know that

they are wondrous

I don't want to fade away

I don't want to lose the day

Fight, obliterate the pain

Appreciate the gain

And understand that life is such a gift

And time will take its toll

While bearing down your soul

But nothing ever can steal who you are

I see it every day

I'm not afraid to say

That there is only one road paved with gold

Intentions guide your path

And deviate the wrath

So undermine the chains that bind you

Isolation is the beast that keeps you from ascending

Find the road to everlasting peace and know that it is

precious

I don't want to fade away

I don't want to lose the day

I don't want to fade away

I don't want to lose the day

Someday soon the world will sing a different tune

And all God's creatures will as one eclipse the moon

I see it every day

I'm not afraid to say

That there is only one road paved with gold

Intentions guide your path

And deviate the wrath

So undermine the chains that bind you

Disillusion is an empty glass of broken reasons

Taste the waters of the flowing streams and know that

they are wondrous

I don't want to fade away

I don't want to lose the day

I don't want to fade away

I don't want to lose the day

I don't want to fade away
