The Shackles of Time
It's early in the morning
His home, it feels so lonely
It's just another day
He thinks about the old days
When people cared to join him
Now it's not the same
You wouldn't believe
The things you would see
Inside his mind they haunt him
The Shackles of time
Is breaking him down
You'd never reach out to him
Voices deep inside him
Endless nights of whisper
He has lost his way
Convinced he's doing just fine
His home, his own asylum
Now it's not the same
You wouldn't believe
The things you would see
Inside his mind they haunt him
The Shackles of time
Is breaking him down
You'd never reach out to him
Restrained in his bed
He's filled with hate
All that will drive a man insane
He cannot escape
This life is his bane
It's so cold and all in vain
He may never rise again
He lost his mind and all his wealth
His broken soul will fall apart
Tomorrow's sunrise may be red
The silence will take upper hand
All The things he'll ever find
Is a heartache full of lies
You wouldn't believe
The things you would see
Inside his mind they haunt him
The Shackles of time
Is breaking him down
You'd never reach out to him
The man that he was
Seems to be lost
All that remains is hollow
He's broken inside
Fragile and blind
He won't return this is the end
His home, it feels so lonely
It's just another day
He thinks about the old days
When people cared to join him
Now it's not the same
You wouldn't believe
The things you would see
Inside his mind they haunt him
The Shackles of time
Is breaking him down
You'd never reach out to him
Voices deep inside him
Endless nights of whisper
He has lost his way
Convinced he's doing just fine
His home, his own asylum
Now it's not the same
You wouldn't believe
The things you would see
Inside his mind they haunt him
The Shackles of time
Is breaking him down
You'd never reach out to him
Restrained in his bed
He's filled with hate
All that will drive a man insane
He cannot escape
This life is his bane
It's so cold and all in vain
He may never rise again
He lost his mind and all his wealth
His broken soul will fall apart
Tomorrow's sunrise may be red
The silence will take upper hand
All The things he'll ever find
Is a heartache full of lies
You wouldn't believe
The things you would see
Inside his mind they haunt him
The Shackles of time
Is breaking him down
You'd never reach out to him
The man that he was
Seems to be lost
All that remains is hollow
He's broken inside
Fragile and blind
He won't return this is the end
