Time eternal... Bound by this are we... A lifelong chain it is Never are we free A bed of dust awaits Chronos' blade cuts deep Through every mortal heart To bring eternal sleep But every thousand years A male child comes to be A mere mortal being Who won't bend his knee (Before the God of Time) Once his sun set Another took to power A scarred face and soul Herald to the dark tower Few are such men Who walk the halls of time Shaping fates of others Shaping yours and mine Dark is his heart Bred in mortal womb With power to stop time And delay the tomb But how to snare a shadow And place it under lock How to cage a man Not afraid of the ticking clock?
