He's laying back on a slow beat Let the race be ran, he'll take a back seat Anchored to the past, untethered to the mass Invisible to the eyes of the frenzy They're marching on without caution Heading straight for the cause of destruction He reaches up with hands made of steel He is the clock, not a cog in the wheel Count the days of the slowman This world is moving fast Stay strong as the mountain Their tempo will never last I'm the Slowman- in a relentless tide Feel like I'm left behind In the quicksand - the sands of time Watching as the world races by Are his efforts in vain? While the world seems to change He still remains the same. In the rush, he's denied. Swept with the tide. His mind opened wide Hold on!
