  • Sands in the hourglass fall for us all
    You don't answer me anymore when I call
    So much is trapped inside, tangled in your brain
    It's getting cold outside and it looks like rain
    The sky is falling and my heart is caving in

    So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye
    The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes
    Day after day after day the world will pass you by,
    You forget to remember

    If this is living, what the hell is living for?
    You've boarded up your eyes, your mind has locked the door
    I'm just a stranger now with an unfamiliar face
    You can't recall me at all,
    There's not a trace, not a trace, not a trace
    I don't know where you are and my world is crumbling in

    So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye
    The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes
    Day after day after day the world will pass you by,
    You forget to remember

    I just want to talk
    What do you want?
    But you've nothing to say
    Leave me alone
    I beg you to come
    Get away from me
    And you just walk away
    I have no idea who you are!
    I curse the day that your smile fades away, till then I pray

    A burning candle in-between and at both ends
    With all that we've learned, yet we still pretend
    I just wish you could say my name again

    They made the lock and broke the key,
    The culprit was the mercury
    The vaccine wipes your memories,
    Till you forget even how to breathe
    A tangled web they weave, when they practice to deceive

    So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye
    The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes
    Day after day after day the world will pass you by
    I said that I'd be strong, but you know I had to lie

    You forget to remember it's time to say the long goodbye Writer/s: DAVE MUSTAINE
