Traveler in time - Fates Warning
Old man time wisdom and rhyme
Seeker of reason reaper of time
Born to a spell
He walks the beaten path to hell
Rusty shackles of time burden his mind
Once on his side time turns to defy
In a flash of the lightning
He's come and gone
The clock strikes the hours
He climbs to the belfry
As he's done a thousand hours before
Many dark years not a vacant hour
Through war and fear had the bell
Been ever strayed
Hypnotized rhythmic pendulum synchronized
With the beat of the old man's heart
Man or machine he's living a dream
Forever the clock lives so does he
Faces below fade
With seasons of long ago
Forever awake in his brass bed
He holds the key
It's all a matter of time
There is no reason or rhyme is there
Traveler in time
Another left behind you are
Tangled in the web of time
You've swallowed the pill of illusion
Writings so clear on the wall
You waste in seclusion
Mirror reflects the mark
Of the crowfoot in his eyes
Now he realize
Nearing his hour he climbs to the belfry
As he's done a thousand hours before
Moon of blue is in the sky
West wind he whispers why
Sacrifice living for life
His perpetual vice
Lonely win blows through his empty soul
He cries a river of tears
On the clock below
Nothing's forever and time will tell
His tears rust the clock
And he died as well
It's all a matter of time
There is no reason or rhyme is there
Traveler in time
Another left behind you are
