Prisoner of Tomorrow

Intro

I crossed the boundary of the years...
But tomorrow followed me.

Verse 1

I traded the lights of a world that I knew
For the scent of the heather and the highland dew
I stepped through the circle, I slipped through the tear
And found a love that is stronger than fear
But I carry a ghost right under my skin
I know how the sorrow and the dying begin.

Pre-Chorus

They polish their steel and they sing of the brave
They fight for a land they are trying to save
But I’ve read the pages, I’ve seen what is written!
I know where the fatal blows will be smitten!

Chorus

Drop

How do you fight when you know the end?!
How do you watch the river bend?!
With the blood on the moor and the clans torn down
And the kings of the ash taking the crown!
I am a prisoner of tomorrow's eyes...
Watching my heart walk into the fire.

Verse 2

Can I change the ledger? Can I break the thread?
Or am I just weeping for the walking dead?
Every warning I whisper is lost to the wind
They call it a glory, I call it a sin
The shadow is creeping across the green valley
And fate is refusing to let us just rally.

Pre-Chorus

They polish their steel and they sing of the brave
They fight for a land they are trying to save
But I’ve read the pages, I’ve seen what is written!
I know where the fatal blows will be smitten!

Chorus

Bridge

Turn back the wheel! Turn back the tide!
Let the history books and the future collide!
I will bleed on the rocks for the chance to rewrite
And pull you away from the edge of the night!
I would shatter the timeline to keep you alive!

Outro

But the stones... the stones are deaf to my cries.
Just the wind on the moor...
And the ash in the skies.
I know the end. But I'll stay for the fight.
