The Father Time Trilogy

Father time
The lesson that I learned
The lesions that I've earned
Were so unkind
Fading mind
The forces that decide
In your hands reside
You're so divine
Wasted time
The heartache that you spurned
The faith that you burned
I was all mine
Forsaken by my father time
Yeah and I've seen it all
I've seen it through night and I'll see it through day
And I've seen the dying crawl
Dying with their backs against the wall
And I've seen them look to the sky
Asking what they've always asked of you
And it makes me wonder why
Even great men are no match for you
Yeah don't let it be
My time
Yeah don't let this be
My time
Yeah and I've walked the walk
I've never met a challenge I wouldn't face
And it's left me broken down
But you never stop dying til you're in the ground
And you know I ain't afraid to die
Just let me breathe your life for one more day
That I might say goodbye
Goodbye to this world that never needed me
Yeah don't let it be
My time
Yeah don't let this be
My time
As you fix the rules and you choose and decide
Know that I'm not here by the whim of the tide
Rising from the depths of my soul heart and mind
Standing on my own as I rage against time
Off the beaten path that I paved made it mine
I never knew the price I would pay over time
And now as I stand at the end of all things
So unafraid of what the moment brings
Yeah and what's done is done
I know I ain't afraid to face you now
And I guess that's the way it goes
When your time is up your time is due
And the reasons no one knows
When living means dying and dying means dead
I guess that's all there is
Someone once said it gets better than this
Don't let it be
My time
Yeah don't let this be
My time
Father time
The lesson that I learned
The lesions that I've earned
Were so unkind
Fading mind
The forces that decide
In your hands reside
You're so divine
Wasted time
The heartache that you spurned
The faith that you burned
I was all mine
Forsaken by my father time
