Diamond Smoke



Time is a gun, your bullet has been fired

You were born yesterday, tomorrow you're retired

The seconds flash like diamond smoke

Today you are rich, tomorrow you'll be broke



In another second this second will be gone

And when you leave, what you leave behind goes on

Stand at the edge of all your tomorrows

Wide eyed, LEAP!, let go of your sorrows



In another second, this second will be gone

What will you do with tomorrow at dawn?

There is no safety net, fly or fall,

God will catch you when you call



Time is a gun, your bullet has been fired

Did you leave memories, were you admired?

In another second this second will be gone.

And when you leave, what you leave behind goes on.



The seconds flash like diamond smoke,

Now you're here, now you're gone, life is no joke

In another second this second will be gone.

And when you leave, what you leave behind goes on.
