lyrics

Where we come from and where we'll go...
The night's so young, but I'm growing old.
A second now, for a lifetime later?
The Hourglass of Fate has concealed the dangers...

Seeking: the ultimate rush.
Living on the edge in a flux.
Reaping the rewards of a lust permanently twisted.

Find the time for wielding the power of the power of the "I" inside.
Can I turn back the clock or deny? DENY?
Facing the fear of the life, the lie:
You're only as young as you die...
DIE, wrapped in metaphoric LYE. LYE.
Drowning yourself in your pride.
Your pride: Turn back the clock or deny, DENY...
AND TURN BACK THE CLOCK TO OPEN UP ALL WORMHOLES!

Drifting throughout the world.
In this space, the world's not enough...
Astral planes: Divided amongst we who have cool and travel!

Find the time for wielding the power of the power of the "I" inside.
Can I turn back the clock or deny? DENY?
Facing the fear of the life, the lie:
You're only as young as you die...
DIE, wrapped in metaphoric LYE. LYE.
Drowning yourself in your pride.
Your pride: Turn back the clock or deny, DENY...
ENTERING THE WORMHOLES NOW, ALL PREPARE TO LAUNCH!

AROUND!
AROUND!
AROUND!
AROUND WE GO!

(Leads & Harmonies section: B. Almeida)

Pick your destination,
Choose it oh so well...
From here there's no returning,
A set home is truly Hell...

(Solo: B. Almeida)

Arrived at destination.
On your head your choice has fell.
Go bury the keys,
Accept your fate: A road traveled ne'er-do-well...

But I've lived my life not in black or white.
The colors may have changed...
But, I've stayed the same.
