Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away.
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away.
Like yesterdays that flow to now,
Days slip through the hand so fast,
In shadows cast by what will be,
The present’s game is unsurpassed.
No watch can hold the fleeting hour,
The vessel empties, time will cast,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away.
In scales of loss and gain,
The soul's exchange, a weary trade,
The price is set for every heart,
Unsold, it withers, unafraid.
The market leaves me desolate,
Each friend departs, a fading shade,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away.
