Lyrics

Strife

There's more than 24 hours of pain
Hours of pain
Present in every passing day
So I watch what they say

So I watch what they say
So I watch what they say

Life is a strife
Time's worth a dime, both of which I have none
It's a sign, realign
Although at my prime I live like slime

Once upon skeleton
A ladder to climb, not for real, just in mime
You can cry, you can sigh
But life will go on and leave you behind

There is more than 60 minutes of hell
Minutes of hell
Present each hour, I know it so well
So I fear my death bell

So I fear my death bell
So I fear my death bell

Life is a strife
Time's worth a dime, both of which I have none
It's a sign, realign
Although at my prime I live like slime

Once upon skeleton
A ladder to climb, not for real, just in mime
You can cry, you can sigh
But life will go on and leave you behind

There's more than 60 seconds of sin
Seconds of sin
I counted in one minute's grin
There is no way to win

There is no way to win
There is no way to win

Life is a strife
Time's worth a dime, both of which I have none
It's a sign, realign
Although at my prime I live like slime

Once upon skeleton
A ladder to climb, not for real, just in mime
You can cry, you can sigh
But life will go on and leave you behind
