(İHansi Kürsch 2005)

On and on this is my way
I've made up my mind
But will I find what I search for
Soon I will reach the western shore

Far behind in the distance
Lie the fires of doom
There's a voice deep inside me
"The tower knows who you are"

The road goes on and on
Tomorrow I'll be gone
The road goes on and on
Tomorrow I'll be gone

I hear him say "We seize the day"

Too many roads we've travelled on
We seize the day
Now there's one thing left to lose
We seize the day
Until the end we'll carry on
we seize the day
Now there's one thing left to lose
We seize the day

All along this is my way
I've better move on
Pure in heart and fair-minded
For strength and truth I keep on

Keep the one that is passed on
And leave the others behind
All alone and without me
I hear him say "We seize the day"

So stay with me we'll carry on
See the winding road goes on and on

Comments
"Seize The Day" details some of the tests and hardships that Roland of Gilead faces on his way to The Dark Tower, such as him reaching the western shore, and also his drifting personality that causes him to be constantly on the move. Another interpretation of this song, perhaps intentionally ambiguous, is that it talks about the hobbits Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee, from The Lord of the Rings. It actually includes quotes from the story, such as "The road goes on and on", originally spoken by Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. In the words of Schaffer, he asked to Hansi a song inspired in the moment of Lord of the Rings that Frodo, Sam and Gollum are in Mordor.
