When your seconds tick away
When your light has gone cold and gray
They speak of you in the past
Have you done enough to last?
To leave a legacy?
You don't get a second chance
To make amends or find romance
When your name is carved in stone
And all you are is bones
Did you leave a legacy?
What will people know you for once your life's gone out the door?
When all you are is a name-will the world be the same?
Time is creeping every day
Do you still have things to say?
Are you wasting life away (Wasting away)?
Whatever you may believe
Know that time will give you no reprieve
No day's a guarantee
Have you done all that you need
To leave a legacy?
In the larger scheme of things
You're a puppet on the end of strings
Though you're a marionette
You never can forget
To leave a legacy
What will people know you for once your life's gone out the door?
When all you are is a name-will the world be the same?
Time is creeping every day
Do you still have things to say?
Are you wasting life away (Wasting away)?
What will people know you for once your life's gone out the door
When all you are is a name?
