All of your life you've tried to survive

You're working so hard to get a real good start

You won't be a loser, you will be the first one

You can't break free, that's your destiny



[Chorus:]

The time has come to say goodbye

Your rising sun will fall

Grim Reaper comes to speak his words

You know that you'll always be:

Only a passenger

We are only passengers



You win one battle you don't win the war

You're standing so tall with your back on the wall

The iron wheel breaks you, too tired to defend

Are you really a rich man when it comes to the end



[Chorus:]

The time has come to say goodbye

Your rising sun will fall

Grim Reaper comes to speak his words

You see that you'll ever be:

Only a passenger

We are only passengers



And when you are broken the last word is spoken

Fire is burned-out, what about your pride

Look into the mirror tell me what do you see

Here comes your last trip, now you'll be free



[Chorus:]

The time has come to say goodbye

Your rising sun will fall

Grim Reaper comes to speak his words

You know that you'll always be

Only a passenger, only a passenger



Only a passenger, we are only passengers

You are a passenger, we are only passengers

And we will break free
