1. TALES OF TIME

From the echoes of the past, we climb
An unfolding rhyme
Through the tapestry unwinding

In the ancient sands where pharaohs lay
Triumph carved in stone
Reaching for the sky
A legacy sublime

On past battlefields
Conquerors born to legends
Bloodshed reigned in the dance of fate
Legacy and chance gave way to stronger hate

Pages ever stained with romance
And the struggles left behind
Every act a human trait
A chronicle of love

A stranger, who's seen it all before
Regales us with fairy tales
We cannot escape the tales of time

Withered hands and fallen friends
Close the book on time gone by
Storyteller wakes to find
A perfect time to start anew

Civilizations rise upon a whim
But seldom last
From a new born dawn
To ruin

Great discoveries, inventions bright
A cosmic ballet
Set to run
Eternally

From the whispers of sages
And the torn-up pages, the words so understated
A moment entwined in this continual stream
From dusk till dawn, they'll hear our screams

So let the music play
Let our story flow
A timeless dance
Through eons past
Grand finale aligned

A stranger, who has seen it all before
Regales us with fairy tales
We cannot escape the tales of time

Withered hands and fallen friends
Close the book on time gone by
Storyteller wakes to find
A perfect time to start anew

Withered hands and fallen friends
Close the book on time gone by
Storyteller wakes to find
A perfect time to start anew
