O' Father Time Lyrics

This barrage of nostalgia engulfs me


Instantly transported to an entity transcending the now


A memory so strong, I can taste the air of yesteryear

O' will it ever be this good again?


Slipping through the hourglass, were moments only savoured future bound



The pain of now existing here


Exacerbates the yearning for those


Golden years



I beg, I wish, I pray


For the gods of time to reroute their path


For my soul is destined to set sail for the past



Set sail for the past

I just want to go back


Vicariously reliving memories over and over again


As the present passes me by


I know I mustn't resist the stream and travel with the flow of time


But this reminiscent wistful harness tightly binds it's way around my brain


Now It's holding me captive



Prisoner


Free to leave

The door is ajar


Yet I chose to sit and stay and wilt away



I don't feel it anymore


Trapped in my thoughts


Unable to embrace right now


Possession lies


With the divine

Wielding the scythe


O' Father Time


Accelerating the ageing of all things


Relentlessly, no one escapes thee


Archaic snuffer applied to the candles of life


Unable to interfere, simply a macabre observer

Watching everything existing fade into dust


An infinite void of nihility he will construct



I beg, I wish, I pray

For the gods of time to reroute their path


For my soul is destined to set sail for the past



Set sail for the past


I just want to go back


Vicariously reliving memories over and over again

As the present passes me by

I know I mustn't resist the stream and travel with the flow of time

But this reminiscent wistful harness tightly binds it's way around my brain

Now It's holding me captive



(Now It's holding me)

Prisoner

Free to leave

The door is ajar


Yet I chose to sit and stay and wilt away

I don't feel it anymore


Trapped in my thoughts

Unable to embrace right now

Possession lies


With the divine

Wielding the scythe


O' Father Time

Hear this plea

I must evolve or die

I must evolve or die

I must evolve or die

I must evolve or die

Evolve or die

I don't feel it anymore


Trapped in my thoughts

Unable to embrace right now

Possession lies


With the divine

Wielding the scythe

I don't feel it anymore


Trapped in my thoughts

Unable to embrace right now

Possession lies


With the divine

Wielding the scythe


O' Father Time

I don't feel it anymore


Trapped in my thoughts

Unable to embrace right now

Possession lies


With the divine

Wielding the scythe


O' Father Time
