Remnants in Time - The Agonist

We bleed, we follow

Slaves to the remnants of time (no tomorrow)

In need of power

Bound by the shackles of time (never borrowed)

What is the cost?

The ultimate price you would pay?

As the wonders unravel before you

For a moment before they decay

In that second before the wheel ends

The twists and turns engraved in your eyes

What rules would you bend?

What flesh would you spend?

For one more day in this life

I took your time away

And you will never find it

When the day is done you’ll see (no tomorrow)

Your life is mine to sell

And you can never buy it

When the night is done you’ll be (never borrowed)

I was a fool that hoped one day to be wise

When the trade appeared right before my eyes

How could I know?

How could I see?

Look beyond what’s in front of me?

When the lies tell this beautiful tale

Of what lies beneath the veil

I swam so far just to drown

Sirens calling all around

Weathered hands to reach the sound

Near the edge my death is found

I swam so far just to drown

Just to drown in shallow waters

And I feel life slowly escapes me

When can I breathe?

When can I breathe?

I took your time away

And you will never find it

When the day is done you’ll see (no tomorrow)

Your life is mine to sell

And you can never buy it

When the night is done you’ll be (never borrowed)

I took your time away

And you will never find it

When the day is done you’ll see…

Your life is mine to sell

And you can never buy it

When the night is done you’ll be…
