Lyrical Transcription: | Reprinted from jumphq.com |
It's up to you
For every passing day
To not let the past pass away
It's up to you
Now that you understand
To take those arms by the hand
Cause you can see it coming
You can see it coming
You can see daylight vague beneath the stars
It's up to you
To keep the memory
To not lose the shape of the melody
Cause we don't sing the same
song anymore
And now your offering is requiem
Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is silent requiem
It's up to you
To understand at your age
To not let the years charge a wage
It's up to you
To see it in the eyes
Of all those who've gone, to realize
If you can see it coming
You can see it coming
You can see them high, high upon the stars
It's up to you
Not to sing along
When all of the feeling is gone
Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is requiem
Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is silent requiem
And I can see that look on your face
When you don't sing along, you don't sing along
I can see that look on your face
When you don't sing along, you don't sing along
Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is requiem
Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is requiem
Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
