Ohhh, time Ohhh, time (Whispered) A mistress untamed Time is a beast, evil and cruel It stands still in the pain And runs in the joy It laughs at you when you're old Encourages you when you are young A trickster, a shadow A voice in the wind It is your friend One minute and enemy next It takes those you love from you And promises it will heal you But all time does is hurt you It lingers in echoes Of things we once knew Slipping like sand From my hands into blue I miss you, my love, I miss you my heart Now it's time for time to do its part We part ways forever, no turning back Goodbye, my heart, lost in the black Time laughs as we promised forever Knowing death will come Without pleasure Time just watches, silent and cold Breaking the stories we never told (Echoed, spoken words Over the melody) Time stands still, time moves fast Time is cruel, time won't last The clock keeps ticking Though I hold my breath It writes the endings, It welcomes death It whispers lies of healing and peace Yet love and sorrow will never cease I miss you, my love I miss you, my heart Now it's time for time to do its part We part ways forever, no turning back Goodbye, my heart, lost in the black Time laughs as we promised forever Knowing death will come Without pleasure It stands still in sorrow, runs in delight And leaves me alone In the coldest night Ohhh, time A mistress untamed (Fades into silence)
