The Final Test

[Verse] In a kingdom so old (ooh-yeah!) Where the stories are told (yeah-yeah!) An old man Losing might (uh-huh) Facing time Day and night [Verse 2] Halls of stone Heavy heart (hey!) Memories tearing apart (oh-yeah!) Whispers of the past in his mind (uh-huh) Truth he needs He must find [Chorus] Final test Pendulum swings (whoa!) Through the beak Soul takes wing. (hey-hey!) Old age whispers End is near (yeah-yeah!) Man of power Facing fear [Verse 3] Light of sun Gate ahead (ooh-yeah!) Unknown destiny Spirits led. (hey-hey!) Pendulum’s arc Dance of life (uh-huh) Steps to shadows Ends the strife [Chorus] Final test Pendulum swings (whoa!) Through the beak Soul takes wing. (hey-hey!) Old age whispers End is near (yeah-yeah!) Man of power Facing fear [Bridge] Swing low Swing high (uh-huh) Time to say goodbye. (oh-yeah!) Fight on Stay strong (yeah-yeah!) Echoes of our song [Verse] In the realm of twilight dreams he stands so near Facing the abyss without a shred of fear Eagle's beak above him a danger he must fight With wisdom as his guide he moves into the night [Verse 2] Guardians of the sky they watch him as he flies Darts past deadly peaks reaching for the skies Heaven's breath upon him can't slow his steady pace At the crest of awareness he claims his rightful space [Chorus] The final test the pendulum swings Through the eagle's beak where the soul takes wing Old age whispers the end draws near A man of power confronting his fear [Verse 3] In the silence of the void he finds his inner light Journey through the darkness searching for the sight Pendulum’s final swing leaving the past behind Transcends the mortal coil freedom he will find [Bridge] He stands at the edge feeling the night One last push to regain his might With courage in his heart breaking the binds Unfurl the wings as destiny unwinds [Chorus] The final test the pendulum swings Through the eagle's beak where the soul takes wing Old age whispers the end draws near A man of power confronting his fear
