Temnere - Sands of Time

lyrics

these twenty years,
my precious bride,
have been so hard
since you have died
but in my search
ive chanced a trick of sorcery

a secret chant
told to rewind
another chance
to live our lives
rewrite the story
of our forgone tragedy

ride out to the magic lands
i will pilfer the tome and then make my plans
im ready, theres no price too great

now the power is in my hands
i wont make my mistakes, i can take it all back
a chance at a happier fate

forbidden knowledge paired
with desperation dares
to make the world anew

a warning sent
from up on high
"the scroll you took
the devil scribed.
promise of heaven
but will surely bring on hell"

though fallen on
my deafen ears
they told the truth
or so they feared
but its too late
for ive already cast the spell

no nothing can stop me now
i will see you again i do not care how
its too close i cant turn away

fate ripples and chaos rises
reality cedes. yes! a divine light is
dawning a brighter new day

now in the pitch of night
conjuring blinding light
to make the world anew

summoning arcane might
to set the timeline right
to find my way to you

fighting the waves
defiant, unyielding
its irreversable
or so they say

fate's will be damned
hear my call - i am coming!

ill move the sands of time to save you now
to never say goodbye
