What is this that you never saw
Slowly, greedy devouring all
Birds and beasts, flowers and trees
Melting stones, yellowing leafs?
Slaying kings, killing gods
Leaving corny fields to rot
Draining seas to desert dust
Choking iron into rust.
Wheel of darkness and light
Endless, yet never enough
Always is there - never in sight.
Learning the riddles of life
Close to the edge you will find
Answer to all is Time!
Did you lose what you took for granted
When you were young, when you were reckless?
What is this that you crave more than gold
Now that you're wiser, now that you're old?
Wheel of darkness and light
Endless, yet never enough
Always is there - never in sight.
Learning the riddles of life
Close to the edge you will find
Answer to all is Time!
