(İHansi Kürsch 2005)</p>

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

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

The road goes on and on<br>
Tomorrow I'll be gone<br>
The road goes on and on<br>
Tomorrow I'll be gone</p>

I hear him say "We seize the day"</p>

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

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

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

So stay with me we'll carry on<br>
See the winding road goes on and on</p>

<b><u>Comments</u></b><br>
"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.</p>
