"Remnants In Time" lyrics

"Remnants In Time"

We bleed, we follow
Slaves to the remnants of time (no tomorrow)
In need of power
Bound by the shackles of time (never borrowed)

What is the cost?
The ultimate price you would pay?
As the wonders unravel before you
For a moment before they decay

In that second before the wheel ends
The twists and turns engraved in your eyes
What rules would you bend?
What flesh would you spend?
For one more day in this life

I took your time away
And you will never find it
When the day is done you'll see (no tomorrow)

Your life is mine to sell
And you can never buy it
When the night is done you'll be (never borrowed)

I was a fool that hoped one day to be wise
When the trade appeared right before my eyes
How could I know?
How could I see?
Look beyond what's in front of me?
When the lies tell this beautiful tale
Of what lies beneath the veil

I swam so far just to drown
Sirens calling all around
Weathered hands to reach the sound
Near the edge my death is found

I swam so far just to drown
Just to drown in shallow waters
And I feel life slowly escapes me
When can I breathe?
When can I breathe?

I took your time away
And you will never find it
When the day is done you'll see (no tomorrow)

Your life is mine to sell
And you can never buy it
When the night is done you'll be (never borrowed)

I took your time away
And you will never find it
When the day is done you'll see...

Your life is mine to sell
And you can never buy it
When the night is done you'll be...
