can’t you see
i don’t wanna be me
the worlds closing in on me
and i can’t breathe at all
there used to be a fire deep inside of me
i could take the world over
but now it seems that everything that i do
i know, (i know echo) it doesn’t matter
walking around
when i’m down
when i’m down
when i’m downtown
stranger please don’t walk with me
go away c’mon baby
what can i say?
walking away
cause the dream becomes a nightmare
and i fear you dream it too
all in all
i don’t wanna call you
it’s not about the things you think
it’s what you do, you
used to be a person i admired
you could take the world over
now it seems that everything that you do
you know, it doesn’t matter
looking around when i’m down
when i’m down
when i’m downtown
other people look at me
look away c’mon baby
what can i say?
running away when the dream becomes a nightmare
cause i know you dream it too
walking around when i’m down
when i’m down
when i’m downtown
stranger please don’t talk to me
you talk too much c’mon baby
what can i say, running away
cause the dream becomes a nightmare
and i know you dream it too
but you don’t care so maybe i don’t

working all night in the burning dark dogs awake and the city’s alive
sick em’ on the weak minds turn out the lights and the angel wings fly on time
but i wonder, when will my work be done?
yeah i wonder
take em’ out
if the children burn in their rooms alive
fuck em’
you say oowah, hoowah, when will gods work be done?
my god, we put a price on the setting sun
you say oowah, hoowah, when will gods work be done?
when a man dies, i feel alive
death, such sweet release, you die for my beliefs
christ on time the mind’s on fire come alive and the bodies run
brutal assault got the heavy guns for the secular seventh son
but i wonder, when will my work be done?
yeah i wonder
get up
make sure the first bite, is the last bite
“single file, when i give you an order, you will execute that order. you will deliver to me a victory. …and if we can’t find a way. we will make a way, do you understand me? we will make a way”

No Children Laughing Now
03:43
|
|||
|
i don’t care about anyone
cause no one cares about me
and i don’t cry for anyone
cause no one cried for me
…and i don’t feel anymore emotions
as i walk the halls a familiar sound
hide and seek how i almost missed you
such a shame that you’re crying now
i can make you happy
i’ll be the one to put you down
with the other dogs
they’ll be dying to see you
i can change the world
there are no children laughing now
on the ground, not a sound
i don’t care about anyone
cause no one cares about me
and i don’t cry for anyone
so don’t you cry
again, again
…and when i see your face
i see you clearly
cause i watch the way that you look at me
and i don’t think that i’m better than you
but it’s clear to me that you think i do
running out of time now
i will count to three
and do unto others
as they have done to me
if you could only hate me
as much as i hate you
don’t you dare try coming near
nothing left to do

Destiny
03:41
|
|||
|
careful now, don’t stray too far
you take one step forward, two steps back
…and it’s a long way, all by yourself
they’ll try to pay for you to stay to be someone else
but i won’t beg for mercy, i won’t take another dime and i’ll tell you why
destiny calling me, i was born to be what i’m meant to be
destiny
destiny calling me, i will forever be what i’m meant to be
you’re laughing now, but i don’t mind
you’ll get what you deserve in due time
…and your best years will get away from you
and when you die you’ll wonder man, why so soon?
i won’t beg for mercy
i’ll be laughing dead and gone and i’ll tell you why
destiny calling me, i was born to be what i’m meant to be
destiny
destiny calling me, i’m flying free, i will forever be, it’s my destiny

bird in the sky
i’ll clip you in no time
have a laugh as you’re falling from grace
down in the dirt
i’ll clean you in a coal mine
take your diamonds when you’re dead
and gift you dust ‘til then
and you can be the only one who doesn’t know
who doesn’t know?
you’re gonna fly away from here, little bird
down on the earth sometimes it’s harder
but you can’t let that stop you my son
you must be strong you’ve got to be smarter
cause ill hit you when you’re down
i don’t want you around
fly away from here
gonna stop you from saving your soul
you’ve gotta go
you gotta fly away from here
little bird
no you can’t be the only one who doesn’t know
who doesn’t know?
you’re gonna fly away from here little bird

Why
02:45
|
|||
|
once again
the same old story
i’ve gotta make the rent
i gotta eat the same old shit
...and see what the day has in store for me
i wish that i could sleep
but i’ve got to keep on moving
i always wonder why
i always wonder
why i suffer to survive
and why
i gotta stay alive yeah
why should i love my fellow man?
why?
all in all
the world keeps turning
you and i are free to be who we want to be
...but still this pain washes over me
i don’t know what to do
i don’t know what i’m doing

Just A Matter Of Time
03:55
|
|||
|
innocence dies in a single night
and i cry in the pouring rain
drag myself up all those stairs
i gotta be a man again
such lonely night
there’s a man in the sky looking down on me
it’s a bittersweet
discomforting emotion
you are heard
i hear your last words
son of mine
it’s just a matter of time
the wheel turns around again and
the cold air’s kind yeah
men are first to see the signs but
it’s just a matter of time
for men are small and dying embers
the smoke is small
the smoke is fine
working on air, aint ashamed to bear
its weight that works on me
we can wait here and weekend there
but can we wait another week?
would you go to bed
where’s it going to be when the winters end?
it’s a bittersweet
discomforting emotion
i don’t know
which way the wind blows
you are heard
i hear you speak
and don’t you mind, air turns to wind to water
the cold air’s kind yeah
no don’t you mind
win or lose the wind’s forever

Hell Is For Children
04:53
|
|||
|
they cry in the dark
so you can't see their tears
they hide in the light
so you can't see their fears
forgive and forget
all the while
love and pain become one and the same
in the eyes of a wounded child
because hell, hell is for children
and you know that their little lives can become such a mess
hell, hell is for children
and you shouldn't have to pay for your love
with your bones and your flesh
it's all so confusing this brutal abusing
they blacken your eyes and then apologize
be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
tell grandma you fell from the swing
hell is for children

Summer Lightning
04:44

|
demon next to me
could you ever tell me why?
every time i try to move just like you
i fall behind
demon next to me
tell me can i touch the sky?
if i have to fly to keep up with you
i will try
if i touch the sun, on a summer day
will a chain of lightning strike me down?
what will be found, on the hard ground
if i fail again?
if i touch the sun on a summer day
will a chain of lightning strike me down
before i hear the sound?
demon next to me
can i make it through another year?
sometimes it seems to me it’s hopeless
this cross i have to bear
demon next to me
tell me brother can you hear?
whispers in the wind again
tender eyes and tears
i touch the sun on a summer day
but a chain of lightning strikes me down
and what i found on the cold ground
is i fail again..
i touch the sun on a summer day
but a chain of lightning strikes me down
before i hear the sound
open your eyes and take a look around
you won’t find what you’re looking for
only what needs to be found
when the summer lightning’s over
will you be here when it’s over?
when the summer lightning’s over
yeah, i’ll be here when it’s over
and dream again…
i’ll touch the sun on a summer day
if a chain of lightning strikes me down
i won’t be found on the cold ground
i won’t fail again
i’ll touch the sun on a summer day
as a chain of lightning strikes you down
before you hear the sound yeah
and i’ll take it
while you give it away
and i’ll make it
while you throw it down

Instinct
03:43
|
|||
|
i never sleep
i get around
i’d rather die
than touch the ground
i push it hard
i keep it straight
i’ll never stop, won’t fall behind
i never wait
i pierce through the iron clouds
of a world so cold
i hammer the thunder down
from the skies above
i need you to know
i cut the wire with a steady hand
and get to fly far, far away
i touch down on a new ground
thank god, gods far away
one million years
don’t shed a tear
but sweating hard
pressing on
persevere
…and many fall
many die
i pass them all
pick it up double time
i suffer the falling rain
as a man i come
to puncture the pulsing vein
‘til the man is gone
i’m where i belong
i cut the wire with a steady hand
and get to fly far, far away
i’m stone faced when the chips are down
thank god, gods far away
you can’t deny me, i ever last
i’m burning hot shooting stars flying past
i kill the pain, i cut the chain
good god, god’s gone away

Strength
03:59
|
|||
|
broken
brother, what have we become?
beating on the workers drum
unaware of the hours
unaware that we are here
the circle closes again
no beginning or end
the years have closed our dreaming eyes
and it’s hard to find a friend
an hour’s over
an hour gets away
dying
counting on another dime
worthless figures counting time
honor for those who stay
honor when they call my name
the circle closes again
no beginning or end man
in the desperate eyes of a dying boy
and the dust within his hands,
an hour’s over
an hour gets away
who will fall behind?
who will go a little further?
who will climb?
who?
i,
i decide
who will earn the right?
who will take their time?
who will live or die?
strength
oh, how the story goes
we can make some money
we can all make some
but we won’t make a living
it cannot be done, no
a sand of gold or silver
we can all make some
but we don’t deserve the pain
when the work is done
strength!

I'm glad this album found me like it found others here. While I have to be in the right mood for any type of extreme metal, Tales of Othertime is one of those rare gems that I could listen to anytime, anywhere. As I've seen commented somewhere, it's like Blind Guardian meets Emperor meets Immortal.
