Chains of Time

[Verse 1] Through the misty fields I wander, nights swallowed by the dark, Silent whispers call my name, igniting a spark. The town clock chimes its warning, echoes through my mind, I’m a prisoner of moments, lost in chains of time. [Chorus] Oh, I'm bound by the chains of time, Every beat of this heart ain't mine. As the years slip away, sanity unwinds, In this haunted life, I'm trapped in its binds. [Verse 2] Old memories fade and flicker, like ghosts upon the breeze, In this quiet lonely nowhere, I'm brought to my knees. I see faces through the ages, they rhyme but never shame, Caught up in the cyclone of a never-ending game. [Chorus] Oh, I'm bound by the chains of time, Every beat of this heart ain't mine. As the years slip away, sanity unwinds, In this haunted life, I'm trapped in its binds. [Bridge] Every sunset's like a dagger, every dawn a far-off star, My soul is wound and tangled in this ever-spinning bar. Can’t escape the shifting shadows, can’t outrun the turning wheel, Lost in this forever, where nothing’s ever real. [Verse 3] I once held dreams of freedom, but these webs are tightly spun, Each strand of time a tether, till all my strength is done. The man I was is fading, dissolving into mist, Caught in the tangled echoes of a life that never is.
