Lynda Simpson - Father Time (Beneath the Gaze) lyrics

No less than men yes they were strong Determined they traveled on Tho' the land against them was Evil 'midst each step they trod Deep into the twisted vine Branches gnarled by father time Against a man whose spirit swayed From the light to darkest ways Time they took to rest awhile In a place where freedom ran wild Life's golden gift was tarnished not Man's greed and waste here they forgot The final climb To meet whose enemy? The battle bringing d**h's distorted tragedy Now we seek into This foes dark eyes Who was this man? They sought out to fight Battle it was long, for no it never ends Inside all our souls, spirits that he bends Mixing his dark spells, to waver our weak minds Looks into our faces, blackside of mankind
