Dreaming or fighting
Or planning your life
Smiling or crying
You're just k**ing time
But time has no mercy
It's taking away
All that you have gained
All your glory and shame
Grim fire of Time
Just burns to the ash
Your name and your memory
Your soul and your flesh
No power, no gold
Can make you forget
About Sword of Time
That is over your head!
Time is often too fast
And often too slow
And nobody knows
When it strikes its blow
Unspoken desires...
Not tasted delights...
Broken illusions
And eternal night
Some drawn their sorrow
In wine and delights
Others believe
In their merciful fate
Some look for glory
Some look for a fight
Some look for wisdom
But always too late
What for all this fighting
All words, thoughts and lusts
If Time drowns them in darkness
And turns them to dust?
When your time is over
You just feel deceived
What will be your estate?
Just ashes you leave!
Kings, heroes and slaves
Once meet sunset of life
And fall down, overtaken
By the Sword of Time
But who is its master?
And what was his price
For key to eternity
And for Sword of Time?
Will there ever come
The one who can win
Eternal chains of doom
And destiny's whirls?
One who can fight
Sorrow inside
Fears of d**h
And frustrations of life!
Some drawn their sorrow
In wine and delights
Others believe
In their merciful fate
Some look for glory
Some look for a fight
Then (they) all disappear
In black oceans of night
