Lyrics
Force of Habit
By Robert Barney
Verse 1
For the ancient and forever young
Time is just a word
Kingdoms lost and battles won
The trump of death is never heard
Chorus:
We live by force of habit
We move by strength of will
We've lived on earth forever
And you will see us living on
On and on living on
Verse 2
We are not like other men
Because we never die
When our mission's through we will change
In the twinkling of an eye
Chorus
We live by force of habit
We move by strength of will
We've lived on earth forever
And you will see us living on
On and on living on
We live on
On and on living on
solo
Verse 3
We're the guardians of the ancients
We're the watchers of the way
We await our master's coming
On the great and dreadful day
Chorus
Refrain:
We live on
On and on living on (repeat)
