Impact 2: Fading Fast Lyrics - Singles - Explorers Club

Matt Bradley - Lead vocals 

(Gardner solo) 

(Petrucci solo) 

In just a moment your life can slip away 

Wasting time by wasting chances 

When all that's left here is emptiness and hope 

It's always darkest before the dawn will show 

So I've got to stay right 

Just to see it 

I've got to rise up and be much more 

There's nothing's new here 

My impact fading fast 

Why seize the hour if I can not make it last 

The cynics laugh hard and the pundits write away 

The music's dying but its epitaph will say 

It's not over yet 

Just to see it 

I've got to rise up and be 

And be so much more 

Believe I know it 

I've got to be right... 

(Petrucci solo) 

There's a light at the end 

But a darkness begins 

As I take the task at hand 

For the glimpse that I see 

Is all that I need 

Just to try and understand 

Why my fate has let it stand 

Feel the meaning of power 

The meaning of fear 

But it's death that's chasing me fast 

So who really gives a damn 

If I make it at all 

I'm just another one that's passed 

The pain of a marathon that lasts... 

(Petrucci solo)
