Gandalf's Fist - The Clockwork Fable lyrics

What were you, never cursed with growing up Born to fail, not to live as one of us And betray your trust Trade your heart for dust Rusting eyes, try to cry but words don't come Afraid of life, the dreams you'd only miss out on Afraid automaton, blinked and now he's gone A soul slips away, the sorrow in me Could it be this life was a clockwork fable? A child's masquerade, to make life your game As you read the page in the clockwork fable Time will tell, not that time was on our side Setting sail, winds that blow from darkest tides The current of our lives, at its ebb tonight Waves of hate, break the wall and flood with light Oh it craves to stay, don't you haunt these shores my child Where dark horizons lie, a sleeping sun will rise A soul slips away, the sorrow in me Could it be this life was a clockwork fable? A child's masquerade, to make life your game As you take your place in the clockwork fable
