When the Clock Strikes Lyrics by Whitecross

Hammer & Nail

0

I'll take the high road
There's nothin' stoppin' me now
I like to gamble with my fate
And there's no turning back
I'm in the big time
And no one can deny it
I'm playing for high stakes
I'm on the attack

Don't tell me there's no profit
If I gain the world and lose my soul
Don't want to hear about eternity
I'm livin' for today, yes, I'm on a roll

When the clock strikes
The clock strikes midnight
When the clock strikes
Time's run out on you
When the clock strikes
The clock strikes midnight
The Lord's going to give to each man his due

My star is rising
It's high in the sky
I burn the candle at both ends
Lightin' up the night
Don't try to cross me
'Cause I'll do you in
I've done it before
And I'll do it again

Don't tell me there's no profit
If I gain the world and lose my soul
Don't want to hear about eternity
I'm livin' for today, yes, I'm on a roll

When the clock strikes
The clock strikes midnight
When the clock strikes
Time's run out on you
When the clock strikes
The clock strikes midnight
The Lord's going to give to each man his due
