Live For The Day Lyrics - A Time To Mourn - Paramaecium

The light of morn pours through the window 

To settle on pages torn 

The book, so old, vainly the truth waits for 

Someone to read but is untold 

Time is running out for the answer is clearer now 

Behind the ordinary lives something quite impure 

A latent visionary sees that which can't endure 

They take away the sadness, they take away the pain 

They say she'll never have to think for herself again 

Live for the day, live life the way you want to 

Give what you may 

But don't let them take life from you 

Too young, too shy, but even her ancestors 

Knew not when they would die 

The sands of time slipping away 

Whilst she meditates on her last crime 

Time is running out for the answer is clearer now 

Behind the ordinary lives something quite impure 

Holy they masquerade and purport to hold the cure 

They take away the sadness, they take away the pain 

They say she'll never have to think for herself again 

Live for the day, live and do what you want to 

Give what you may 

But don't let them take life from you 

Live for the day, live life the way you want to 

Give what you may 

But don't let them take life from you 

They're counting the sands of time 

They're touching the sound of moonlight 

They're sealing the book of life 

They're taking the truth from time 

Behind the ordinary lives something quite impure 

The taste of innocence found 

That taste which can't endure 

They take away the sadness, they take away the pain 

They say she'll never have to think for herself again 

Live for the day, live and do what you want to 

Give what you may 

But don't let them take life from you 

Live for the day, live life the way you want to 

Give what you may 

But don't let them take life from you
