[INTRO] Low winded fog over water, night shot glass still Firelight flicker on the distant hill Laughter echoes past, but golden tone feels thin Something old is waking under aging skin [VERSE 1] Chronus steps where the shoreline bends Time is his eyes, where beginnings end Watches Pan Fiddler with mythic bow in hand Fiddle singing truths the reedy can’t withstand The music says "I waited, I watched you play" While honor slowly drained away Once it lived in the hearts of men Who faced true blade and rose again [PRE-CHORUS] They learned in fire what words can’t teach Most still fell short, few could even once reach Now the hollow noise is cheap and rickety loud Truth got buried in drug addled crowd [CHORUS] Wake up now, the bell don’t lie Most Knights gave up to pills long ago Wake up now, the time drew here Silly Boomer lies about progress As they sell out the country Wake up NOW (now now now) [VERSE 2] Pan keeps playing, doesn’t break Every heart has truth at stake Says I know what honor meant Not shamans mask but stoic firmament Kids sign random names to borrow pride Laughing on plastified pill easy ride Till the night goes bump and cold And the lie fades fast as hunger does what it’s told [PRE-CHORUS] Gods above with heavy breath Watching slow industrial death grind into grand Poison dressed in filtered latex light Selling dark as if it’s right Ever hear of 6 Sigma? Ever hear of LEAN Principle? Has any shit eating corpo brought these ideas to you like they are new? Ancient easy concepts ways to snow the game Pan Fiddler is the saint of gaming though Surviving through this engineered collapse [CHORUS] Wake up now, the bell don’t lie Most Knights gave up to pills long ago Wake up now, the time drew here Silly Boomer lies about progress As they sell out the country Wake up NOW (now now now) [VERSE 3] Chronus speaks with weight of years the creator counted all your tears Every wasted breath you didn't spend Every path prematurely meeting it's end Pan turns slow eyes closed, the fiddle cries Truth cuts cold sharp clean, no disguise Says "I told them what went wrong" But they only want the song [BRIDGE] Honor is not a word you can claim It’s a fire that brands and restricts your name Built in trials for honor that most never face Carved out loss and faith held in grace Still good ones call from edge of night Not for talk but for the fight their ascent needs Not with steel but will aligned, resonance Clear of body, razor sharp of mind [BREAKDOWN] Lake goes silent, wind stands web still Even time eventually bends to the will Pan fiddler lifts bow, set signal starts Strikes like thunder in their hearts [FINAL CHORUS] Wake up now, the bell don’t lie Most Knights gave up to pills long ago Wake up now, the time drew here Silly Boomer lies about progress As they sell out the country Wake up NOW (now now now) [OUTRO] Fire burns but dawn is near Those who hear will truly hear how to protect what they hold dear Because only balanced lights really show what you should fear. Chronus fades but leaves the sign Time has spoken through the line Skewered slander and exhausted cult Pan fiddler works square remember that been that way all along
