Lyrics
The Change
I've been through the change
I've gone from young to old
I've been through the change
I've gone from hot to cold
It's the breath of time
It's the bite of the earth
It's the kiss of the tides
It's the promise of birth
From ashes to ashes
From dust to dust
Through years of decay
Corrosion and rust
Time takes its toll
Life takes it's price
It may take a hundred years
Or just the blink of an eye
I've been through the change
I've gone from new to old
I've been through the change
I've gone from cool to cold
It's the way of the world
It's the way of all flesh
Nothing's forever hip
Nothing's forever fresh
There's no use in fighting
There's no use denying
You can spend your time living
Or spend your time dying
