Píseň: The Hands Of Time

Interpret:
Stratovarius
Album:
Twilight Time
The time is running 
It's running so fast that you don't notice years are passing by 
And you're growing older 
What happened to all your dreams? 
Did they become true at all? 


We cannot undo the deeds of the years 
They leave you on your own with all your deepest fears 


Don't look for the future 
Don't live in the past, 
just take it day by day cause life goes fast 
The minutes, the hours 
The days and the years will fly so live still when you have the time 


We cannot undo the deeds of the years 
They leave you on your own with all your deepest fears 


Wheel of the time 
Turns again tonight 
Eternally decides our destiny 
Wheel of the time 
Turns again tonight 
Without reason or rhyme 
The hands of time
