[Studio Recording] [Intimate Close-Mic Vocal] [No Crowd] [No Audience] [Intro - Solo Mourning Bagpipes] [Extremely Slow] [No Vocals] [Verse 1] You say... Today is the day... You've been waiting for it... For so long... [Long Pause] You are joyful... You are happy... [Long Pause] You leave the house... You rush to her... [Long Pause] You cross the street... [Very Long Silence] Screeching tires... [Silence] You are gone. [Long Bagpipe Lament] Your favorite band is playing a show... The ticket was bought... Six months ago... [Long Pause] Madness... Fun... Lyrics known by heart... [Long Pause] You enter the mosh pit... You love this part... [Long Pause] It gets stuffy... A pain grips your chest... [Long Pause] Heart stops... You fall... A scream from the crowd... [Very Long Silence] You are gone. [Chorus - Quiet and Heavy] The world rushes on... The clock keeps ticking... A fraction of a second... And everything vanishes... You had dreams... Plans for tomorrow... Left a vacant chair... And a hideous canvas... One step too far... One quicker stride... And suddenly falls... The eternal night... [Bagpipe Solo] [Verse 2] You answer the phone... You won the prize... You return with a shield... Your voice in the skies... [Long Pause] The kids are waiting... Your wife at the pane... Everything is working out... No one fears the rain... [Long Pause] A sharp turn... Fog... Black ice on the track... [Long Pause] Headlights ahead... The truck can't go back... [Very Long Silence] You are gone. [Extended Instrumental] [Bagpipes Lead] You pack your bag... Your first great height... The mountains called you... Beautiful and bright... [Long Pause] The final stretch... The view takes your breath... Suddenly the old rock... Crumbles beneath... [Long Pause] The rope is torn... A silent... Long fall... [Long Pause] A boulder above you... Closed the heavy wall... [Very Long Silence] You are gone. [Bridge - Almost Whispered] You don't know the day... You don't know the minute... When fate pulls your ticket... With a broken end in it... [Long Pause] Grab every moment... While your blood is still bright... 'Cause tomorrow we might just be ghosts in the night... [Final Chorus - Restrained, Not Loud] The world rushes on... The clock keeps ticking... A fraction of a second... And everything vanishes... You had dreams... Plans for tomorrow... Left a vacant chair... And a hideous canvas... One step too far... One quicker stride... And suddenly falls... The eternal night... [Outro - Solo Bagpipes Fading] You say... Today is the day... You've been waiting for it... For so long... [Very Long Silence] You are gone.
