01.The Blade and the Clock

[Verse] The edge of the blade Sharp as the night A dance with the shadows No end in sight Steel sang my name I called it friend But the whispers grew louder Time will not bend [Chorus] Time's the foe you can't outrun No shield No sword No battle won The clock strikes deep It cuts It mocks The warrior falls to the blade of the clock The warrior falls to the blade of the clock [Verse 2] I’ve crossed the fields Where heroes bled Where legends whispered And fools once tread Yet the stars grew dim Their stories gray The hours marched on Stole my fire away [Prechorus] You can fight the wind You can fight the flame But the ticking hand Knows no name [Chorus] Time's the foe you can't outrun No shield No sword No battle won The clock strikes deep It cuts It mocks The warrior falls to the blade of the clock The warrior falls to the blade of the clock [Bridge] No scars to show No blood was spilled Just a quiet thief With a will to kill It takes the strong It takes the brave Even warriors find a silent grave
