River Below - Lyrics - Billy Talent - Billy Talent

Title: River Below
Album: Billy Talent
Artist: Billy Talent
Composer(s): Ian D'Sa, Jon Gallant, Aaron Solowoniuk, Ben Kowalewicz

Lyric:
Rejected since day one, my name is Bastard Son
I've been damned so many times I've lost count
Blue collar working man, devices master plan
Bi-polar with a mental side arm

I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken, you can't fix it
Don't make me 'cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go

Into the river below, I'm running from the inferno
They'll think I'm insane but ya'll all know my name
Into the river below, I'm running from the inferno
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame

Contraption made up of nuts and bolts
Creates the new monster to burn your family tree down
Tick-tocking, times up now, split second the world frowns
Lonely heart never had nobody

I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken, you can't fix it
Don't make me 'cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go

Into the river below, I'm running from the inferno
They'll think I'm insane but ya'll all know my name
Into the river below, I'm running from the inferno
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame

Into the river below
Into the river below
Into the river below
Into the river below

Into the river below, I'm running from the inferno
They'll think I'm insane but ya'll all know my name
Into the river below, I'm running from the inferno
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame
Yeah, I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame

But ya'll all know my name
And don't think I'm insane
But ya'll all know my name
And don't think I'm insane

Peace Like A River - Lyrics - Isaacs

Title: Peace Like A River
Artist: Isaacs
Composer(s): David Glenn Marshall

Lyric:
Did you ever have an empty feeling
Many miles away from home?
Everybody's tryin' to treat you friendly
Yet you're alone

It's taken some time for me to uncover
The purpose he has in my life
Don't know where it will take me
But I know where I've been
And I know it feels so right

I got peace like a river
Flowin' deep in my life
I got peace like a river
And you know it feels so right

I got peace

Now I am not one who can move high mountains
Or part the big Red Sea
Nor can I walk on the water like Peter of Jesus
Or set a lame man free

It's all I can do, someday?s to get through
The valleys here below
I don't feel I deserve a mansion in heaven
But it would please me so

I got peace like a river
Flowin' deep in my life
I got peace like a river
And you know it feels so right

I got peace like a river
Flowin' deep in my life
I got peace like a river
And you know it feels so right

I got peace

Every Mountain I Climb - Lyrics - Bill Miller

Title: Every Mountain I Climb
Artist: Bill Miller
Composer(s): Peter Cummings, Bill Miller

Lyric:
I saw Judas Iscariot with a bottle of wine
Talkin' suicide with an old friend of mine
They gathered a crowd down at the end of the tracks
And a woman cried out, "When is God comin' back?"

And they pretended not to notice
They came down hard on the weak
Causing war and starvation
Refusing to let them speak

For every mountain I climb
For every river that winds
For every wind that will blow
I will send out my prayers
To the children below

I saw a crazy horse walkin' alone in the dark
On the streets paved in blood, on his broken heart
He never dreamed it would turn out like this

They pretend that they just don't see
They are blinded with their own mediocrity
They got their trophies and their cars
Big houses on the hill and they don't really care
That their wars are a killin' me

For every child that follows the dream
With ten thousand angels fly
No one will force them to run
They will stand up and fight till this battle is won

For every mountain I climb
For every river that winds
For every wind that will blow
I will send out my prayers
To the children below

For every mountain I climb
For every river that winds
For every wind that will blow
I will send out my prayers
To the children below

For every mountain I climb
For every river that winds

North To Alaska - Lyrics - Johnny Horton

Title: North To Alaska
Artist: Johnny Horton
Composer(s): Mike Phillips

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Way up north, north to Alaska, way up north, north to Alaska
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
With George Pratt, his partner, and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon River and they found the bonanza gold
Below that old white mountain, just a little south-east of Nome

Sam crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskies as he mushed on through the snow
With the northern lights a-runnin' wild in the Land of the Midnight Sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of nineteen-one

Where the river is windin', big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
Way up north, north to Alaska, way up north, north to Alaska
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on

George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said, "Sam, you're lookin' at a lonely, lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand"

"'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Remember, Sam, a true love is so hard to find
I'd build for my Jenny, a honeymoon home
Below that old white mountain, just a little south-east of Nome"

Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
Way up north, north to Alaska, way up north, north to Alaska
Way up north, north to Alaska, way up north, north to Alaska
Way up north

Coming Down - Lyrics - Flesh - David Gray

Title: Coming Down
Album: Flesh
Artist: David Gray
Composer(s): David Gray

Lyric:
Tears falling slow, from the bridge
Into the river below, in your eyes, I start to see
A starry veil, the ocean of infinity

Moon and stars above me, mingle with the blood Inside my vein
These empty arms that should be
Holding you close, through nights of winter rain
I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever, coming down

And I'm drowning in shallows, 'cos it's in so deep
There's neon melting in the rain, I took too much powder too sleep
'Cos when I hold you naked, when I hear you laugh
I got a sword to stem the rivers and cut the moon in half

Frozen stars above me, mingle with the blood inside my vein
Empty arms that should be
Holding you close, through nights of winter rain
I'm trying to spell, what only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever, coming down

Coming down, coming down, coming down
Coming down, coming down, coming down, coming down

We danced wild, kicked off our shoes
Not a cloud in the skies to confuse
Now the sky is cold and the sea is wide
And there's nothing to be done 'cept reflecting the sun
And scratching the mountainside

Frozen stars above me, mingle with the blood inside my vein
Empty arms that should be
Holding you close, through nights of winter rain
And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever, coming down

Coming down, coming down, coming down
Coming down, coming down, coming down, coming down

Straight As The Crow Flies - Lyrics - Bitter Sweet - Kim Richey

Title: Straight As The Crow Flies
Album: Bitter Sweet
Artist: Kim Richey
Composer(s): Angelo T. Petraglia, Kim Richey

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Against a blue sky
A black shadow flies by
Guess he's got some place to go

Some mission's callin'
No high ground can slow him
The miles flash by down below

You know you could always count on me
I'm like the river to the sea
As sure as day follows night

But I won't run a crooked mile
And I won't wait for morning light
I'd come straight as the crow flies

Each night the North Star
Reminds me of so far away
From the one light that's true

But love's a strong tie
That binds you to my life
And will go the distance for you

You know you could always count on me
I'm like the river to the sea
As sure as day follows night

But I won't run a crooked mile
And I won't wait for morning light
I'd come straight as the crow flies

If there's ever anything you need
You only have to whisper in your dreams

You know you could always count on me
I'm like the river to the sea
As sure as day follows night

But I won't run a crooked mile
And I won't wait for morning light
I'd come straight as the crow flies

The Places You Find Love - Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

Title: The Places You Find Love
Artist: Barbra Streisand
Composer(s): Clifton Magness, Glen Ballard

Lyric:
It was raining when I met you
You were soaking wet no time to be impressed
And I remember so much later on
I knew that you were someone I would not forget

Everybody's searching hungry for the glamor
You know too many hearts are in a rush
No matter how you try to, you can't explain
The places you find love

I can't explain it but I can feel it
All around me the need to find the place
Where feeling can be safe, it's not money that buys happiness
No, it's not the shine of silver that puts the heart to rest

Everybody's pushing the clock is always running
And no one ever seems to have enough
And when you least expect it
You come upon the places you find love, love, love

Remember in a flash the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it missed
You reaching deep inside to find your secret heart, yeah, yeah

Look around you notice you're flying
And for once you're not even trying
City lights below you like a million tiny stars, oh yeah

It's a river never stopping winding in and out
But you should never doubt
It will lead you to the ocean someday
There's no way to fight it let it carry you away

Everybody's dreaming waiting for the feeling
That moment when they finally rise above
But it's always in the giving
That gets you to the places you find love, love

Remember in the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
And seeing's not believing the feeling stays alive, yeah, yeah

Little children laughing and playing
'Cause they haven't learned to start hating
Never giving no, 'cause they will believe in love, sweet love
Love, love, love, love, love

Remember in a flash the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it missed you
Reaching deep inside to find your secret heart, yeah, yeah

Look around you notice you're flying
And for once you're not even trying
City lights below you like a million tiny stars

In the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
Seeing's not believing the feeling stays alive, yeah, yeah

Little children laughing and playing
'Cause they haven't learned to start hating
Never giving up no, they still believe in love, sweet love

In a flash the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it missed you
Reaching deep inside to find your secret heart, yeah, yeah

Look around you notice you're flying
And for once you're not even trying
City lights below you like a million tiny stars

Sweet Rosie Jones - Lyrics - Buck Owens

Title: Sweet Rosie Jones
Artist: Buck Owens
Composer(s): Buck Owens

Lyric:
I met her out in Oklahoma
Down where the old Red River flows
I vowed my love to her forever
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones

We walked alone down by the river
Just as the sun was sinking low
And in her eyes I saw big trouble
Like the muddy waters down below

Her lips were soft and sweet as honey
Her hair was bright as yellow gold
Her cheeks were red as summer roses
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones

And then one day a tall dark stranger
With hair as black as winter coal
Rode into town as night was falling
And there he met my Rosie Jones

I woke next morning just after sunup
To find a note from my Rosie's hand
And it read, "I'd rather die than ever hurt you
But I'm in love with that tall dark man"

So now I walk alone down by the river
Where my sweet Rosie used to stroll
And soon I'm gonna join those deep dark waters
For I can't live without Rosie Jones

Her lips were soft and sweet as honey
Her hair was bright as yellow gold
Her cheeks were red as summer roses
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones

Down Here - Lyrics - David Wilcox

Title: Down Here
Artist: David Wilcox
Composer(s): David Patrick Wilcox

Lyric:
Under the castle in the land of snore
Down in the dungeon where the weird are stored
All the different and the outcast sneak back home
After laughing in the bright lights all night long

I'm lucky to be down with the cast aside
Safe from the madness of the world we hide
With everybody free to come and go
Under the radar of the status quo

Down here we always got each other
Down here and it's how we know
Down here that we're sister and brother
Down here in the land below

Down here we see you looking in
Down here with your longing stare
Down here we got a feeling of belonging
(Down here)
Because we're not up there
Because we're not up there

So you want to get close to the wild and strange
You want to stand at the edge of the river of change
(No)
You got a hungry soul but a cautious mind
So you can't quite leave your world behind

So you come for a visit but you lose your nerve
Out at the edges of the bell-shaped curve
But I saw your soul when you dropped your fear
You came walking in the world of the wild down here

Down here we always got each other
Down here and it's how we know
Down here that we're sister and brother
Down here in the land below

Down here we see you looking in
Down here with your longing stare
Down here we got a feeling of belonging
(Down here)
Because we're not up there
Because we're not up there

I was only 4 maybe she was 5
We were playing in the car parked in the drive
And it all started off with the one mistake
And that was the lever of the parking brake

At the bottom of the hill we cranked it hard
Missed all the bushes in the neighbor's yard
And then picking up speed, running out of time
We drove right into our lives of crime

Down here we always got each other
Down here and it's how we know
Down here that we're sister and brother
Down here in the land below

Down here we see you looking in
Down here with your longing stare
Down here we got a feeling of belonging
(Down, down here)
Because we're not up there
(Here)
'Cause we're not up there, there

Silver (The Hunger) - Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

Title: Silver (The Hunger)
Artist: Kris Kristofferson
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Silver was a rounder with a wicked reputation
Music was his magic and his madness rolled in one
It's said he charmed the fairest hearts of this world's fairest maidens
Quick as silver mercury and slippery as a song

Winding like a river through a thirsty world of strangers
Carving out a legend in a dream forsaken land
Silver took his pleasures just as freely as he gave them
'Cause hungry eyes weren't quick enough for Silver's flashing hands

Then once upon escaping from the world of silk and shadows
Sudden growin' sicker of the secrets and the shame
He stumbled onto something real that beckoned like a candle
And never lookin' backwards, he surrendered to the flame

Because hunger, is the surface, of a darkened pool of sadness
Silver pale reflection of a deeper need below
Mystery and magic are the holy forms of madness
Sacred as the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul

Silver moved instinctively within her soft defenses
Soon unfolding mysteries he'd never seen before
And wakening an ancient need, she slipped inside his senses
And Silver took it easy as the closing of a door

Then soon he touched the secret fears she'd hidden with her sorrows
Darker than her raven hair and deeper than her eyes
And dared to try to lead her to the sunlight from her shadows
Following the line between her laughter and her lies

But Silver left his magic with the legend he'd abandoned
Love had stripped him naked of illusion and it's charms
Then one long night her changing mind took kindly to a stranger
And morning found her moving in the golden stranger's arms

Because hunger, is the surface, of a darkened pool of sadness
Silver pale reflection of a deeper need below
Mystery and magic are the holy forms of madness
Sacred as the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul

Silver stared in silence at the tangled scene before him
Time was burning frozen in the oceans of his eyes
And sadly turning backwards to the world that he'd forsaken
He donned the shining mantle of deception and disguise

Slowly, with the patience born of silent desperation
Silver worked his way into the darkness of her mind
Weaving through her conscience like a chance she might have taken
Sadder than the shadows of the love she'll never find

And Silver's spell was stronger than the softly smiling stranger
Whose star was burning smaller in the naked light of day
And Silver took her hand again, a wiser man, but sadder
Ready for the stranger who would steal her love away

Because hunger, is the surface, of a darkened pool of sadness
Silver pale reflection of a deeper need below
Mystery and magic are the holy forms of madness
Sworn to free the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul

One Voice - Lyrics - One Voice - Billy Gilman

Title: One Voice
Album: One Voice
Artist: Billy Gilman
Composer(s): David E Malloy, Don Cook

Lyric:
Some kids have and some kids don't
And some of us are wondering why
And Mom won't watch the news at night
There's too much stuff that's making her cry

We need some help
Down here on Earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard

A house, a yard, a neighborhood
Where you can ride your new bike to school
A kind of world where Mom and Dad
Still believe the golden rule

Life's not that simple
Down here on Earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard

One voice, one simple word
Hearts know what to say
One dream can change the world
Keep believing till you find a way

Yesterday while walking home
I saw some kid on Newbury road
He pulled a pistol from his bag
And tossed it in the river below

Thanks for the help
Down here on Earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard
One voice was heard
One voice was heard

Lyric:
I'm always swimming
Against the flow of the tide
Kissing the life into something
That already died

I've been drowning forever
I'll let go, I'll dive
Into the river and flow

You said that you could here bells
In the traffic below
I could hear sirens and car engines
Fighting the snow

I've been drowning forever
I'll let go, I'll dive
Into the river and flow

I've been drowning forever
I'll let go, I'll dive
Into the river and flow

Breathless - Lyrics - Susan Ashton

Title: Breathless
Artist: Susan Ashton
Composer(s): Kent Blazy, Neil Thrasher, Kelly Shiver

Lyric:
He's the fireworks on the 4th of July
He's the steepest hill on a roller coaster ride
He makes me want to scream and shout
And throw my heads in the air

He's a hundred-foot drop to the river below
He's the feeling you get, when the water's ice cold
He says jump, I say how high when and where

He keeps me runnin' and gunnin'
And goin' and comin' and knowing that it's alright
He's got me learnin' and burnin' and tossin'
And turnin' and yearnin' for him all night

His kind of lovin' leaves me breathless
And I never knew, I could be so wild and reckless
Well I'm out of control like a runaway train
With the wheels barely touchin' the rails
And I'm in a tornado in a hurricane
And got a tiger by the tail

He's like drivin' too fast down an icy road
A hundred pounds of dynamite about to blow
You'd think with a man like that I'd be runnin' scared
But I'm gonna stick around to see what happens next
His razzle and his dazzle and his special effects
It's a tilt-a-whirl dog-and-squirrel around-the-world love affair

He keeps me runnin' and gunnin'
And goin' and comin' and knowing that it's alright
He's got me learnin' and burnin' and tossin'
And turnin' and yearnin' for him all night

His kind of lovin' leaves me breathless
And I never knew, I could be so wild and reckless
Well I'm out of control like a runaway train
With the wheels barely touchin' the rails
And I'm in a tornado in a hurricane
And got a tiger by the tail

His kind of lovin' leaves me breathless
And I never knew, I could be so wild and reckless
Well I'm out of control like a runaway train
With the wheels barely touchin' the rails
And I'm in a tornado in a hurricane
And got a tiger by the tail

Well I'm out of control like a runaway train
With the wheels barely touchin' the rails
And I'm in a tornado in a hurricane
And got a tiger by the tail
I'm breathless

Sometimes I wanna take you down
Sometimes I wanna get you low
Brush your hair back from your eyes
Take you down let the river flow

Behind the green sheet of glass
A million miles below their feet

Hey, hey, hey like being stoned

A million poppies gonna make me sleep
Just one rose that knows your name
The fruit is rusting on the vine
The fruit is calling from the trees

Hey don't you wanna go down?

A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles

Hey, hey, hey like being stoned

Hey, hey, hey like being stoned

Bridge Of Death - Lyrics - Hail To England - Manowar

Artist: Manowar
Composer(s): J Damaio

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Slowly crossing as the river runs below
Never stopping for what's waiting soon will show
And this the last time looking back I'll see my home
For he awaits me reaching for my soul

He calls my name, and waves me on
The fallen one he stands in flame, oh

Well, the life that he has given full of riches and success
Has a price that I made good in blood to pay
And the light he now is showing
To guide my every footstep is insurance if I falter on my way

And what God has now forsaken and man has never seen
Are the riches of the underworld below
All my years of earthly pleasures gave support unto the bridge
I now cross it giving him my soul

Dark Lord, I summon thee
Demanding the sacred right to burn in hell
Ride up on hells hot wind
Face one more evil than thou

Take my lustful soul, drink my blood as I drink yours
Impale me on the horns of death
Cut off my head release all my evil
Lucifer is king praise Satan

I know the one who waits Satan is his name
Across the bridge of death there he stands in flame
I know the one who waits Satan is his name
Across the bridge of death there he stands in flame

He is my provider as I walk into the void
For eternity I give him my soul
I shall do his bidding obey him without question
Even walk among the living if I'm told

Satan don't forsake me I wait for you to take me
Grant me wings and as your messenger I'll fly

Single Handed Sailor - Lyrics - Communiqué - Dire Straits

Title: Single Handed Sailor
Album: Communiqué
Artist: Dire Straits
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler

Lyric:
Two in the morning dry-dock town
The river rolls in the night
Little gypsy moth she's all tied down
She quiver in the wind and the light

Yeah and a sailing ship is just held down in chains
From the lazy days of sail
She's just a lying there in silent pain
He lean on the tourist rail

A mother and her baby and the college of war
In the concrete graves
You never wanna fight against the river law
Nobody rules the waves

Yeah and on a night when the lazy wind is a-wailing
Around the Cutty Sark
The single handed sailor goes sailing
Sailing away in the dark

He's upon the bridge on the self same night
The mariner of dry dock land
Two in the morning but there's one green light
And a man on a barge of sand

She's gonna slip away below him
Away from the things he's done
But he just shouts, "Hey man what you call this thing"
He could have said, "Pride of London"

On a night when the lazy wind is a-wailing
Around the Cutty Sark
Yeah the single handed sailor goes sailing
Sailing away in the dark

Down In The Willow Garden - Lyrics - Tim O'Brien

Title: Down In The Willow Garden
Artist: Tim O'Brien
Composer(s): Timothy P. O'Brien

Lyric:
Down in the willow garden
Where me and my true love did meet
It was there, we went a courting
My love fell off to sleep

I had a bottle of burgundy wine
My true love, she did not know
It was there, I murdered that dear little girl
Down on the banks below

I drew my saber through her
It was a bloody knife
I threw her into the river
And it was an awful sight

My father often, he told me
That money would set me free
If I'd but murdered that dear little girl
Who's name was Rose Connelly

Now, he stands at his cabin door
Wiping his tear dimmed eye
Gazing on his own dear son
Upon the gallows high

My race is run beneath the sun
The devil is waiting for me
For I did murder that dear little girl
Who's name was Rose Connelly

Down in the willow garden
Where me and my true love did meet
It was there, we went a courting
My love fell off to sleep

I had a bottle of burgundy wine
My true love, she did not know
It was there, I murdered that dear little girl

Ballad Of The Absent Mare - Lyrics - Recent Songs - Leonard Cohen

Title: Ballad Of The Absent Mare
Album: Recent Songs
Artist: Leonard Cohen
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Say a prayer for the cowboy, his mare's run away
And he'll walk 'til he finds her, his darling, his stray
But the river's in flood and the roads are awash
And the bridges break up in the panic of loss

And there's nothing to follow, there's nowhere to go
She's gone like the summer, gone like the snow
And the crickets are breaking his heart with their song
As the day caves in and the night is all wrong

Did he dream, was it she who went galloping past?
And bent down the fern, broke open the grass
And printed the mud with the iron and the gold
That he nailed to her feet when he was the lord

And although she goes grazing a minute away
He tracks her all night, he tracks her all day
Oh, blind to her presence, except to compare
His injury here with her punishment there

Then at home on a branch, in the highest tree
A songbird sings out, so suddenly
Ah, the sun is warm and the soft winds ride
On the willow trees by the river side

Oh, the world is sweet, the world is wide
And she's there where the light and the darkness divide
And the steam's coming off her, she's huge and she's shy
And she steps on the moon when she paws at the sky

And she comes to his hand but she's not really tame
She longs to be lost, he longs for the same
And she'll bolt and she'll plunge through the first open pass
To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass

Or she'll make a break for the high plateau
Where there's nothing above and there's nothing below
And it's time for the burden, it's time for the whip
Will she walk through the flame? Can he shoot from the hip?

So he binds himself to the galloping mare
And she binds herself to the rider there
And there is no space but there's left and right
And there is no time but there's day and night

And he leans on her neck and he whispers low
"Whither thou goest,I will go"
And they turn as one and they head for the plain
No need for the whip, ah, no need for the rein

Now the clasp of this union, who fastens it tight?
Who snaps it asunder the very next night?
Some say the rider, some say the mare
Or that love's like the smoke, beyond all repair

But my darling says, "Leonard, just let it go by
That old silhouette on the great Western sky?
So I pick out a tune and they move right along
And they're gone like the smoke
And they're gone like this song

Firth Of Fifth - Lyrics - Selling England By The Pound - Genesis

Title: Firth Of Fifth
Album: Selling England By The Pound
Artist: Genesis
Composer(s): Phil Collins, Anthony Banks, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett

Lyric:
The path is clear though no eyes can see
The course laid down long before
And so with Gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen
Though many times they've seen the way to leave

He rides majestic, past homes of men
Who care not or gaze with joy
To see reflected there, the trees, the sky, the lily fair
The scene of death is lying just below

The mountain cuts off the town from view
Like a cancer growth is removed by skill
Let it be revealed
A waterfall, his madrigal, an inland sea, his symphony

Undinal songs, urge the sailors on
Till lured by the sirens cry

Now as the river dissolves in sea, so Neptune has claimed another soul
And so with Gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen
Until the shepherd leads his flock away
The sands of time were eroded by the river of constant change

Traveler In Time - Lyrics - Fates Warning

Title: Traveler In Time
Artist: Fates Warning
Composer(s): John Arch, Jim Matheos, Victor Arduni

Lyric:
Old man time, wisdom and rhyme
Seeker of reason, reaper of time
Born to a spell, he walks the beaten path to hell
Rusty shackles of time burden his mind

Once on his side, time turns to defy
In a flash of the lightning he's come and gone
The clock strikes the hours, he climbs to the belfry
As he's done a thousand hours before

Many dark years, not a vacant hour
Through war and fear had the bell been ever strayed
Hypnotized, rhythmic pendulum synchronized
With the beat of the old man's heart

Man or machine, he's living a dream
Forever the clock lives so does he
Faces below fade with seasons of long ago
Forever awake in his brass bed, he holds the key

It's all a matter of time
There is no reason or rhyme, is there?
Traveler in time
Another left behind, you are

Tangled in the web of time, you've swallowed the pill of illusion
Writings so clear on the wall, you waste in seclusion
Mirror reflects the mark of the crowfoot in his eyes
Now he realize

Nearing his hour he climbs to the belfry
As he's done a thousand hours before
Moon of blue is in the sky, West wind he whispers why
Sacrifice living for life, his perpetual vice

Lonely win blows through his empty soul
He cries a river of tears on the clock below
Nothing's forever and time will tell
His tears rust the clock and he died as well

It's all a matter of time
There is no reason or rhyme, is there?
Traveler in time
Another left behind, you are
