How many days have passed you by
While you frittered away precious time?
Seize life and death you'll defy.
You've sat on the sidelines with wandering eye

If only once you attempted to climb
How many days have passed you by?
But you sit and sulk saying it's simply too high
Your voice and vision a mere pantomime
Seize life and death you'll defy.
If only you had the courage to try
You'd realize a life so sublime
How many days have passed you by?
Seize life and death you'll defy.

Seize life and death you'll defy.

What is this land I see - where the
dimensions fade and the winds blend with the
sea as if inseparable through
