from Solitary (March 21st 1998) (2:44)
There will come a time after all's been said
When a man can have reflection on the dead
The years have passed him by and now he asks to know
How come all has changed and where did the time go
And we shall all cross this path somewhere along the way
When it comes we will know if we lived for the day
So now this man looks abck on his now fading past
Nostalgia sets in to ask why it couldn't last
His friends so far away, if only he'd said goodbye
Pictures and memories will make him smile and cry
And we shall all cross this path somewhere along the way
When it comes we will know if we lived for the day
And will we know what to do as those days begin to fade
One day today will be the past so live before it goes away
When a man can have reflection on the dead
The years have passed him by and now he asks to know
How come all has changed and where did the time go
And we shall all cross this path somewhere along the way
When it comes we will know if we lived for the day
So now this man looks abck on his now fading past
Nostalgia sets in to ask why it couldn't last
His friends so far away, if only he'd said goodbye
Pictures and memories will make him smile and cry
And we shall all cross this path somewhere along the way
When it comes we will know if we lived for the day
And will we know what to do as those days begin to fade
One day today will be the past so live before it goes away
version 2:
from Empty Rooms (October 29th 1998) (2:33)
There will come a time after all's been said
When a man can have reflection on the dead
The years have passed him by and now he asks to know
How come all has changed and where did the time go
And we shall all cross this path somewhere along the way
When it comes we will know if we lived for the day
So now this man looks abck on his now fading past

And we shall all cross this path somewhere along the way
When it comes we will know if we lived for the day
And will we know what to do as those days begin to fade
One day today will be the past so live before it goes away
When a man can have reflection on the dead

And we shall all cross this path somewhere along the way
When it comes we will know if we lived for the day
And will we know what to do as those days begin to fade
One day today will be the past so live before it goes away
