Timekeeper

Alone he waits in the darkness,
Shrouded in the shadows.
Cloaked in black, hourglass in hand.
Endless falling sand
Consuming life of man.
Until his time has come,
Until his deed is done.
Senses numb;
No smell,
No touch,
No sight,
Only thought and time.
Only thought and time.
For young and old the time will come,
Bell tolls are ringing out to your deathly song.
For young and old the time will come,
Bell tolls are ringing out to your deathly song,
Moving mountains,
Draining oceans dry,
Feasting on lives.
He is the senseless witness to the destruction of time:
Timekeeper!
Still he waits in the darkness,
Damned to bear witness to the suffering of humanity.
Fear is the fleeting joy unseen by mortal eyes.
Until his time has come,
Until his deed is done.
Senses numb;
No smell,
No touch,
No sight.
Only thought and time!
Only thought and time!
For young and old the time will come,
Bell tolls are ringing out to your deathly song.
For young and old the time will come,
Bell tolls are ringing out to your deathly song.
Moving mountains,
Draining oceans dry,
Feasting on lives,
He is the senseless witness to the destruction of time:
Timekeeper!
He is the senseless witness,
To the destruction of time,
Timekeeper!
