Time: The Beginning Lyrics
Father time, I'm running late
I'm winding down, I'm growing tired
Seconds drift into the night
The clock just ticks till my time expires
You were once my friend
Now I know I can't tie your hands
The days I saved I couldn't spend
They fell like sand through the hourglass
No time to lose, no time to choose
Time taking time, it's taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever, and time waits for no one
Not even me
An enemy I can't defend
My final place a deadly end
Life's just a speck in space
Dreams of an eternal resting place
I can't get any younger
Time has brutal hunger
I'm winding down, I'm growing tired
Seconds drift into the night
The clock just ticks till my time expires
Now I know I can't tie your hands
The days I saved I couldn't spend
They fell like sand through the hourglass
No time to lose, no time to choose
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever, and time waits for no one
Not even me
My final place a deadly end
Life's just a speck in space
Dreams of an eternal resting place
Time has brutal hunger

Dave giving up & giving in to Death. His voice is so magically soul touching & haunting. This song brings me to tears, beautifully saddening.
ahhhh I love this song so much! The meaning is basically about how we are all growing older. Dave's voice sounds awesome and the dynamics work so well. I must have played this song 1000 times over and over!
This song is beautiful.
The most beautiful thing I ever heard. O.O
Wonderful song. Yes, it is basically about how we're all growing old and that there's nothing we can do about it. The bass is so simple in this song yet it, along with the vocals, is what makes this song.
One of the very few gems from Risk.
