A strange man from another land Came and moved right next to me The only thing brought to his house Was a crate called the time machine He stayed inside for a couple weeks Then he weased and passed away Before he died brought me to his side Said I'm the one who would win the crate Escape to a land where our forefather's roamed Escape from my wife and kids and bills for cars and home Escape to a world where they fought with swords of steel So I stripped away the crate to see what it revealed Mind filed with crazy thoughts I couldn't hold back at all And to this day to my dismay The machine it seemed to call Wood lay on the ground then I heard this sound It said take me for a ride In disbelief fell to my knees Found my name was on the side Escape to a time, where the Romans ruled them all Escape just to see, the Trojans charge the wall Escape for an hour, watch Moses part the seas I've found an open door to history's family tree Travel through the time where man could make a kingdom fall They'll treat me as a god then I'll make those people bow This human from the sky came and over ruled the king Lives will be condemned the slash and thrust of swords will sing This unearthly job I took Has shortened life for me I've seen the times of Christ I've seen the seven seas Exploding pain inside my head Told me the end was near Another name appeared inside The machines controls wouldn't steer Escape to a land where our forefather's roamed Escape from my wife and kids and bills for cars and home Escape to a world where they fought with swords of steel The time has passed away, my life's come to a yield I fall to a deep magic sleep My age rates one hour to a week A young man appears by my side He must swap his soul for a ride Chosen by Farrel now all of my time passed away
