[Verse 1]
Lost in the pages of an old tome
Lies a forgotten promise
Over the ages
It turned into stone
Nothing can be forever gone
[Verse 2]
The moon will keep the oceans moving
But it never sees the sun
Weight of heaven handed over
From fathers to sons-as it's been always done
[Refrain]
Flowers don't fade away simply to die
Keep turning round in the circle of life
The sun will dry a thousand rivers
'Till it ever rains again
By the flowing of the seasons the beginning and the end
As it was ever meant
[Chorus]
As the world keeps turning round
Like it lasts forever
And the tides keep moving on
Forever is too long
Forever is too long
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I know that I'm losing my soul
I know that it's out of control
I know that I cannot let go
I know what is meant to be!
[Chorus]
As the world keeps turning round
Like it lasts forever
And the tides keep moving on
Forever is too long
Forever is too long
Forever is too long
[Guitar Solo Outro]
