[Verse 1] I opened my eyes in a city of stone A thousand years from anywhere known They spoke in words I’d never heard A dead language waking in every word Below the walls, the armies came For gods, for gold, for someone’s name I whispered, “will they stand the test of time?” Or die before the clock strikes nine [Pre-Chorus] War is coming, time is running Everything is turning into nothing [Chorus] Time stand still, don’t pull the thread Hold the color in your head Before the morning paints us red Time stand still, time stand still [Post-Chorus] Stand still, stand still Just stand still, stand still Oh-oh, stand still [Verse 2] Under the gate, a capsule slept With broken names the desert kept A silver button under glass One touch could stop the centuries passing I saw the banners lose their pride Too much life on either side I turned the hourglass in my hand And begged the world to understand [Pre-Chorus] Time is racing, kingdoms shaking Everything they built is breaking [Chorus] Time stand still, don’t pull the thread Hold the color in your head Before the morning paints us red Time stand still, time stand still [Post-Chorus] Stand still, stand still Just stand still, stand still Oh-oh, stand still, stand still [Bridge] In the euphoria, I forget to breathe Standing where the world becomes a memory If I could press one button in the sky I’d hold this second before they die Let the hourglass refuse to fall Let the silence cover all No more empires, no more pain Just one moment left unchanged Stand still, stand still Stand still [Final Build] Hold it now Hold it close Don’t let the moment go If this is all we ever get Make it something we won’t forget [Final Chorus x2] Time stand still, time stand still Time stand still, don’t pull the thread Lock the moment in our heads Before the silence takes the rest Time stand still, time stand still [Final Post-Chorus] Stand still, stand still Just stand still, stand still Stand still, stand still Oh-oh, stand still [Final Post-Chorus] Stand still, stand still Just stand still, stand still Stand still, stand still Oh-oh, stand still Stand still...
