Impact 2 - Fading Fast Lyrics

Matt Bradley - Lead vocals 

(Gardner solo) 
(Petrucci solo) 

In just a moment your life can slip away 
Wasting time by wasting chances 
When all that`s left here is emptiness and hope 
It`s always darkest before the dawn will show 

So I`ve got to stay right 
Just to see it 
I`ve got to rise up and be much more 

There`s nothing`s new here 
My impact fading fast 
Why seize the hour if I can not make it last 
The cynics laugh hard and the pundits write away 
The music`s dying but its epitaph will say 
It`s not over yet 
Just to see it 
I`ve got to rise up and be 
And be so much more 
Believe I know it 
I`ve got to be right... 

(Petrucci solo) 

There`s a light at the end 
But a darkness begins 
As I take the task at hand 
For the glimpse that I see 
Is all that I need 
Just to try and understand 
Why my fate has let it stand 
Feel the meaning of power 
The meaning of fear 
But it`s death that`s chasing me fast 
So who really gives a damn 
If I make it at all 
I`m just another one that`s passed 
The pain of a marathon that lasts... 

(Petrucci solo)
