        C#m
We are alive for a moment

One second in the great abyss of time All the bleeding all the hate

                     C#m
Just one blink of an eye

        A            E
All the conflicts it visits

     B             C#m
dire pain on human life

       A       E
Are we missing what

         B
it is to be alive?

Refrain 1:

A                       C#m
  One by one the pieces fall

                           E
Until our pride defeats us all

                     G#m
We learn to live without it

Chorus 1:

C#m
Wake up!

A      E
To the sound of

Until it's gone

Interlude: C#m Verse 2:

        C#m        A
Our innocence is a virtue

        E
But our arrogance will

B             C#m
only leave us blind

    A              E
Unattended without anyone

   B             C#m
to save our idle lives

             A
Will we find out

     E
that everything we 

B             C#m
know exists inside

     A
of a fraction

     B
Of a fraction

Refrain 2:

A
  One by one the

       G#m
pieces fall again

C#m
Wake up!

A      E
To the sound of 

     B
this time bomb

Wake up!

A       E         B
To it's deafening song

C#m
Wake up!

      A         E

you've got until it's gone

Until it's gone away
