River of Time
[verse] Shadows lengthen as the day fades Time slips through my fingers like sand [Whispered] Memories blur, faces fade In the twilight of consciousness I search for meaning, find only mist [Softly] Echoes of a life half-lived [pre-chorus] [drums build slightly, cymbals swell] The weight of years bears down on me Crushing dreams I'll never see [chorus] [full band enters, volume increases] (Woah-oh) I'm drowning in the river of time (Ahhh) Gasping for air, for something divine [mellotron adds atmospheric backdrop] But the current pulls me under Leaving nothing but wonder [instrumental break] Ghosts of the past haunt empty rooms Whisper secrets of forgotten tombs [Hushed] Dust settles on abandoned dreams In the mirror, a stranger's eyes Reflect the truth behind the lies [Softly] Years etched in lines so deep [pre-chorus] [drums intensify, tom fills] The path ahead grows dark and steep Shadows dance where secrets keep [chorus] [full band at peak intensity] (Woah-oh) I'm drowning in the river of time (Ahhh) Gasping for air, for something divine [mellotron swells with emotive chords] But the current pulls me under Leaving nothing but wonder [bridge] [instruments drop out except for acoustic guitar] [Whispered] In the silence between heartbeats I hear the universe breathe [gradual build-up of all instruments] And in that cosmic exhale I find the strength to prevail [final chorus] [all instruments at full intensity] (Woah-oh) I'm flowing with the river of time (Ahhh) No longer fighting, I've made peace with the divine [guitar solo: emotive, melodic lines] The current carries me forward To horizons unexplored [outro] [instruments gradually fade out] [acoustic guitar and vocals remain] [Softly] Time flows on, endlessly... [end] In the mirror, a stranger's eyes Reflect the truth behind the lies [Softly] Years etched in lines so deep [pre-chorus] [drums intensify, tom fills] The path ahead grows dark and steep Shadows dance where secrets keep [chorus] [full band at peak intensity] (Woah-oh) I'm drowning in the river of time (Ahhh) Gasping for air, for something divine [mellotron swells with emotive chords] But the current pulls me under Leaving nothing but wonder [bridge] [instruments drop out except for acoustic guitar] [Whispered] In the silence between heartbeats I hear the universe breathe [gradual build-up of all instruments] And in that cosmic exhale I find the strength to prevail [final chorus] [all instruments at full intensity] (Woah-oh) I'm flowing with the river of time (Ahhh) No longer fighting, I've made peace with the divine [guitar solo: emotive, melodic lines] The current carries me forward To horizons unexplored [outro] [instruments gradually fade out] [acoustic guitar and vocals remain] [Softly] Time flows on, endlessly... [end] [bridge] [instruments drop out] [Whispered] In the silence between heartbeats I hear the universe breathe [gradual build-up of all instruments] And in that cosmic exhale I find the strength to prevail [final chorus] [all instruments at full intensity] (Woah-oh) I'm flowing with the river of time (Ahhh) No longer fighting, I've made peace with the divine The current carries me forward To horizons unexplored [outro] [instruments gradually fade out] [acoustic guitar and vocals remain] [Softly] Time flows on, endlessly... [end] [final chorus] [all instruments at full intensity] (Woah-oh) I'm flowing with the river of time (Ahhh) No longer fighting, I've made peace with the divine The current carries me forward To horizons unexplored [outro] [instruments gradually fade out] [acoustic guitar and vocals remain] [Softly] Time flows on, endlessly...
