THE PAST CAN NEVER BE DEFEATED

the light in dark will disappear
old friends will leave and not return
the years roll round but have no fear
someday the sun will cease to burn

ashes to ashes dust to dust
alive a moment much too quick
the giant engines turn to rust
the clocks go tick tick tick tick tick

the past can never be defeated
the past can never be defeated
the past can never be defeated
the past can only be repeated

and still you stuggle with the rock
to roll it up the endless hill
there are no hands upon the clock
the eagles circle for the kill

and memory will wage a war
to seize your heart and take control
so nothing new survives forever
every dream at last gets old

the past can never be defeated
the past can never be defeated
the past can never be defeated
the past can only be repeated

it's easy to say that nothing matters
nothing to win and nothing to lose
you may say I'm mad as a hatter
but whether or not, you still gotta choose

the past can never be defeated
the dead in graves refuse to lie
the past can only be repeated
and death itself can never die

the past can never be defeated
the past can never be defeated
the past can never be defeated
the past can only be repeated
