[Verse 1]
It grows from deep within you
Unbeknownst, crawling deeper and deeper
This disease burrows into you
Though it never shows until the day comes
When the man in white gives you his diagnosis

[Chorus]
Doomed to die
You thought you had time
How much longer will you need?
Doomed to die
When will you be the one?
You thought you had time
Accept that which you've become
How much, how much longer will you need?

[Bridge]
The tempo of time is ever flowing
And with every second, it ticks away
De-accelerating your cognition
When you know your time is nigh
The diagnosis
The tempo of time is ever flowing
And with every second, it ticks away
De-accelerating your cognition
When you know your time is nigh
The diagnosis

[Verse 2]
The pendulum is swinging, forever it shall ring
The grandfather clock will always sing again

[Verse 3]
The end of an era, the coming of age
For you, time does not wait

[Chorus]
Doomed to die
You thought you had time
How much longer will you need?
Doomed to die
When will you be the one?
You thought you had time
Accept that which you've become
How much, how much longer will you need?
