Ascension - The Time Machine lyrics

If I could only turn back time and stop her falling through My hands Just like the sand through the gla**, I've got to get her Back Four years I shut myself away and did not sleep a night or Day A great machine I must design - an hourgla** to turn back Time It was the night that I proposed, as we were walking through The snow And as I gazed into your eyes we were taken by surprise And on this winter's night, so cold - I feel the fear, it's Taking hold There was a struggle, I tried to fight - and then he stole Away her life From the barrel of the gun, one bullet, she is gone I have to go back to save her - I'll travel through time! Back to that night, her eyes were still bright But just when I saved her she died again And every time the sky was black, I felt a coldness in her Hands Why can't I save her, get her back? I can't begin to Understand... I'd sacrifice and give it all - if I could have just one More kiss I have the power of a god, yet I am still powerless So as I slowly lost my mind and then lost track of all the Days I could go back a thousand times and watch her die a Thousand ways And as the shot rang through the air, it was too much for me To bear That's why I built it, to save her I'll travel through time Back to the past, when I saw her last But just when I held her she died again Now that I've lost my only love - what reason do I have to Stay? So when I realized she's gone I went forward through time To the unknown, now I am alone To search for an answer, why can't she remain? And so at last I have arrived - a stranger lost in a strange Time Yet still no answer to my woe, why didn't I just let him go? I sense there's something very wrong, I think I've known it All along I must give up, for I have failed. There is no light in this New dawn I only built it cause she died, it won't exist if she Survives That's why I never can save her - I cannot fight time! The sky's turning black, I can't get her back And never can save her from dying again...
