Now, architect, now, archaeologist
Now a man whose hand's in the past
Somebody's made to face the changes
Somebody's built to last

What do you know?
Still living so young
Tomorrow's no burden
Time can be overcome
Time can be overcome

No need yet to caution, no need for amen
Yesterday'll break your heart, tomorrow'll kill you dead
Hounding history, time can be overcome
All real and familiar things undone

Chisel and hammer
Raise the ruined architecture
I will love and understand her

What do you know?
Still living so young
Tomorrow is no burden
Time can be overcome
Time can be overcome
Time can be overcome
