Only Time Lyrics


Life moves on, I am now a free man

A family; children and wife

I see them age yet I stay the same

I can’t forget that I will see them all die

Time – only time

Is the only thing that keeps us apart

Time – only time

A perpetual sadness lives in my heart

Life-long friends and blood brothers

Whom I’ve loved and fought for

Seeing them withering away

Reminds me of the curse I can’t ignore

How many lives

Will come and go

How many loves

Will I have known

How many seeds

Will there be sown

How many sins

Can I atone

I must move on to avoid suspicion

Another village and another life

Eternity gives no hope for peace

Living is but sorrow and strife

Life-long friends and blood brothers

Whom I’ve loved and fought for

Seeing them withering away

Reminds me of the curse I can’t ignore
