Oh lord, my world is coming down
I think my ship has run aground
It's been a fight since I was born
I lost my bearings in the storm
No stars to guide me to the sea
No shining light to set me free
I've got to try to carry on
Don't wanna be the failed son

Time and tide, live for today

Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools
How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand
Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war
Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear

A simple man, I stand alone
I'm only flesh and blood and bone
But I will fight for my beliefs
And I will set my people free
This land was built by hands of men
And I'll return to rules again
And take my place upon the throne
To build a kingdom of my own

Time and tide, live for today
