Chronomancer (Bygone)

In the dawn of existence, before the written word
The wizard stood, a witness to the world unheard
As primal fires roared and ancient creatures thrived
He beheld the birth of life, where mysteries arrived

Through the ages he has traveled, across history's rhyme
His heart forever burdened by the shifting sands of time

Through the age of chivalry, knights and castles tall
The wizard observed, as empires rose and fall
He saw battles waged, with honor and with strife
And felt the weight of honor, the struggle for a noble life

Through the ages he has traveled, across history's rhyme
His heart forever burdened by the shifting sands of time

In the modern era, amidst progress and machines
The wizard surveyed a world transformed, by human dreams
Through cities of steel, and technology's embrace
He watched as humanity sought a faster pace

Through the ages he has traveled, across history's rhyme
His heart forever burdened by the shifting sands of time

In the distant future, neon lights ablaze
The wizard witnessed a world lost in virtual haze
A digital domain, where consciousness transcends
He observed the merging of humanity and machine's blend

Through the ages he has traveled, across history's rhyme
His heart forever burdened by the shifting sands of time

In a further future, where the sun's light fades low
The wizard beheld a cataclysmic cosmic show
As the supernova's fire consumed Earth's domain
He witnessed humanity's end, engulfed in solar flame

Through the ages he has traveled, across history's rhyme
His heart forever burdened by the shifting sands of time

In the aftermath of destruction, a desolate scene
The wizard stood alone, where life once had been
Silent echoes of a vanished world filled the air
As he grieved for the loss, in his immortal despair

Through the ages he has traveled, across history's rhyme
His heart forever burdened by the shifting sands of time

Yet, in the depths of the void, a glimmer of hope
A chance for rebirth, for a new kaleidoscope
From the ashes, new life may someday arise
To carry the torch, under unfamiliar skies

Through the ages he has traveled, across history's rhyme
His heart forever burdened by the shifting sands of time

Yet, in the depths of the void, a glimmer of hope
A chance for rebirth, for a new kaleidoscope
From the ashes, new life may someday arise
To carry the torch, under unfamiliar skies

Through the ages he has traveled, across history's rhyme
His heart forever burdened by the shifting sands of time

Yet, in his immortal soul, a yearning still resides
To break free from the chains of time's relentless tides
To find solace in a world untouched by its cruel hand
And embrace a moment's respite in a timeless land

As the symphony of existence reaches its final chime
The immortal wizard gazes upon the hourglass of time
A lifetime of memories etched upon his weary soul
As he stands alone, forever bound, in the eternal role
