4.5 billion years Molding the perfect domain (domain) Yet in the cosmic timeline A few months the earth has remained (has remained) Seconds ago we arose as a race What can we know of our destiny Ancient giants of old Last only days in the chain Held on for millions of years Still somehow they faded away The truth that is staring us all in the face Is knowledge that someday we too will die That we'll die Elements arose within a January storm Spiraled in the spring time towards an avaricious hole Solid rock and rubble battled gravity's control Through these eyes, we will see and know what it means To live and die on this day As a fleeting memory So as we journey through the fray, though the fear remains Open your mind Look to the skies Question this life And rage towards the dying of the light Summer solar systems merged and life began to frame Autumn married light and water, carbon fueled the flame Set the stage and wrote the rules for all who played the game And in these winter days we'll see and know what it means To live and die on this day As we mortals journey on Lest we endure to stake our claim on our right to stay Open your mind Look to the skies Question this life And rage towards the dying of the light Go now, live for the day Don't waste time, our lives won't last the night Your days though numbered are precious And worth the fight, so hold on 'til the dawn Within December days began the supersonic climb Advance the mortal games and pass the grueling test of time The final minutes of the year will catch us in our prime What will the stroke of midnight bring Does our fate remain To live and die on this day Evolutions failed design So once more into the grey We must fight to stay Open your mind Look to the skies Question this life And rage towards the dying of the light Open your mind (Live and die on this day) Look to the skies Question this life (Open your mind) And rage towards the dying of the light
