about

This song is about a Sorcerer who foresees his own death in the near future and comes to the realization that he is powerless to stop it. The underlying message is that no matter how powerful you are (or think you are) there is no escaping your fate and you can never escape Death

lyrics

Oh What visions I have seen
In the days gone by in the realm of dreams
From Barren Wastelands to Forest Glade
To the desert plains with forgotten Names
The stars I’ve read to predict their fates
From the fall of kings to what hell awaits
But of my fate the cosmos bear no sign
Save the empty blackness overwhelming Me
The Mystic Arts that have forsaken Me
(Numbered are my Days)

chorus:
Twilight Upon me And soon night will fall
Never have I failed my powers Beyond Man’s reach
The Heavens Bear No Sign of my Destiny

A Thousand Lifetimes I’ve walked this earth
Guided by a hand that remains unseen
The masters I’ve served have used my knowledge well
To Engage in war in the name of King & Queen
To hear my voice is to unlock the door
To embrace the void beyond what is perceived
Yet here I stand Withered and decayed
Time the only enemy I cannot slay
My only Burden is to fade away
(Never to Return)

Chorus

Dark is the world I see before my eyes
My endeavors failed just as I prophesized
The end is near I can feel it’s close
How can I forsake this world I love so Dear
All hope is gone from here I’ve lost my will
Behold the hourglass the sands have disappeared
My final Hour is devoid of Cheer
Was this doom engraved upon my stars?
(Never Realized)

Is this my end?
To pass beyond the dream of Life and death the world unseen
(But now I implore you)
Are you the one?
To carry on my task Achieve the goal I failed to act
(To Live on Forever)
Why Must it be Now
So much is left undone so much that’s not begun
Rarely are we prepared
To take our final bow to read our final Vow
(My Sorcery is No More)
