[v1]
his eyes roll wide open
he wakes up to the most frightful dream
the young man is forgotten
by all those who once cared about him
little he knows
fate has cheated him out of his rights
slowly it shows
nothing´s left of what he knew as life
trapped in the darkness
time passed him on by
all that tomorrow
once could bring for him now has died!

[chrs]
time will tell
there will be another day
time will tell
all those years washed away
face the truth
that´s drawn for you
misery
all forsaken, lone and lost
destiny
takes on such a bitter cost
cannot be
what it comes to..

[v2]
now the truth settles in
what befell came most swiftly, unseen
death closely tempted
spared his life, took away everything
they´ve all moved on
in the thought that he´d never return
life carries on
in great sorow that lesson in learned
wake me from nightmare
he cries on his knees
deprived of all he could be
now he´s just begging, please!

[chrs]
[bridge]
time will tell
and only time will know
you remember...
holding on to
what´s been long ago
only time will...
