Verse 1:
        C#5
We are alive for a moment
One second in the
great abyss of time
All the bleeding
all the hate
                     C#5
Just one blink of an eye
        A5            E5
All the conflicts it visits
     B5             C#5
dire pain on human life
       A5       E5
Are we missing what
         B5
it is to be alive?


Refrain 1:
A5                       C#5
  One by one the pieces fall
                           E5
Until our pride defeats us all
                     Ab5
We learn to live without it


Chorus 1:
C#5
Wake up!
A5      E5
To the sound of 
     B5
this time bomb
C#5
Wake up!
A5       E5         B5
To it's deafening song
C#5
Wake up!
      A5         E5
Cause you don't know what 
       B5   C#5        A5
you've got until it's gone
 E5
Until it's gone


Interlude: C#5


Verse 2:
        C#5        A5
Our innocence is a virtue
        E5
But our arrogance will
B5             C#5
only leave us blind
    A5              E5
Unattended without anyone
   B5             C#5
to save our idle lives
             A5
Will we find out
     E5
that everything we 
B5             C#5
know exists inside
     A5
of a fraction
     B5
Of a fraction


Refrain 2:
A5
  One by one the
       Ab5
pieces fall again


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Chorus 2:
C#5
Wake up!
A5      E5
To the sound of 
     B5
this time bomb
C#5
Wake up!
A5       E5         B5
To it's deafening song
C#5
Wake up!
      A5         E5
Cause you don't know what 
       B5   C#5        A5
you've got until it's gone
 E5
Until it's gone away


Bridge:
Ab5                     A5
  One by one the pieces fall
B5
  Until our pride defeats us all
Yeah!
