Ravages of Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been to many places, I've drank a lot of wine
Loved a lot of women in my time
I took what I was given, too much was not enough
And now I'm here to tell the tale

[Verse 2]
You think you'll live forever and it's all fun and games
But the candle burns two flames
Look at my reflection, the wrinkles in my face
It's the ravages of time
The ravages of time, the ravages of time

[Chorus]
The moment that it hits you, you start to understand
We're just here on borrowed time
Nothing is forever, something's got to give
To the ravages of time

[Post-Chorus]
Nothing is forever, something's got to give
So you'd better start to live

[Verse 3]
I've learned to find the beauty in every step and line
Embracing life's design
Every scar and blemish, I wear them as my prize
Without a compromise
Life it has a meaning, it's who you choose to be
And what you leave behind
One day there's no tomorrow and no one can escape
The ravages of time
The ravages of time, it's the ravages of time

[Chorus]
The moment that it hits you, you start to understand
We're just here on borrowed time
Nothing is forever, something's got to give
To the ravages of time

[Post-Chorus]
Nothing is forever, something's got to give
So you'd better start to live

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
The moment that it hits you, you start to understand
We're just here on borrowed time
Nothing is forever, something's got to giv
So you'd better start to live
