Paroles de Zumanthum

The grains of time
a texture so fine
It's tickin' onwards it's never behind
Another moment passes me by
so it seems I'm closer to death
Look around
cause all you can see
is in existence temporarily
so it seems I'm closer to death
It has always come and it has always gone
So I'm asking you why
don't you understand
and I ask how
can you hide from all the facts
Are you so blind
cause it's right before your eyes
they call it time
It's an allay not the enemy
Oblivion comes dancing slowly, so gracefully
It's closer today
It seems as though our chances are slim
Rememberance is eternal life
so it seems I'm closer to death
Don't close your eyes
cause it's not a dream
So I'm asking you why cause it's right before your eyes
they call it time
It's an allay not the enemy
Hunters gather around the fire
and tell you stories
All you desire forget your worries
come taste my wine
Thru the mist appears a figure
belongs to a travelling man
He takes off his hood, he appears different
He tells his tale:
I come from a land afar
thru the sky and beyond the stars
I have no wisdom to offer you
I'm just passing thru
Noble men may I taste your wine
For I'm a sad man I'll tell you why
My home it was but is no more
that's what I'm weeping for
I cry for those left behind
that I fear I'll never find
I have heard the oceans cry
and I have seen me die
I'm running over the hills
it's soft nothing is real
and I fly high, yeah definetly high
as the wind carries me by, carries me by
It carries me over the land
out of my mind to a place so undefined
scenes enter my eyes
so violently simple and outlined
I'm growing and shrinking at the same time
that's when I realized I'm going, I'm going
cause It carries me over the land
out of my mind
