How The Years Condemn lyrics

We are not invincible Nor are we indestructible There are choices - points of return Will the path be easy? Nothing is easy, but that's reality For the sake of my loved ones I will remain on this earth It's the last chance to face the fears I have always known Better that than To fear the unknown How the years condemned my Heart to a plague of madness How the years condemn I think back on a life of friendships Now, more than ever I cherish them Was it you that had my back My absent friend? I have to take these challenges to head on No more excuses or fragile promises I hope now I finally understand My absent friend
