Father Time (single) lyrics by Stratovarius
1. Father Time
FATHER TIME (Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Kotipelto-Johnson) Walking down the path that lead me to my memories. Facing all the way without a care in my stride. Where are the friends of my yesterday, have they moved on with their lives. Can we still laugh and joke about things like before. There's no need to hide the past that I have left behind. It's a good resource somewhere to reach out. It shouldn't be all up to them, keeping in touch ain't that easy but I'll have to try. Where have all the years gone that's what I am asking now. What have I learned so far tell me Father Time - tell me now. Now I understand I'll take from time what I need And I store it inside it's there for me to find I can't deny that the years will pass by but it won't bother me. Coz now I will set out to realize my dream. Where have all the years gone that's what I am asking now. What have I learned so far tell me Father Time - tell me now.
2. Uncertainty
UNCERTAINTY (Music: Kotipelto / Lyrics: Kotipelto) Learning by trying it's hard to deny it. While paying for what I used to know. Dreams are deceiving until I'm achieving the goals I haven't set too low. Waiting for a new day to wipe away the Uncertainty that flows around me once again to stay. So many choices but so few answers my time slips away while thinking too much. Whom to believe in they're all just repeating the same old lies so nice to clutch. Waiting for a new day to wipe away the Uncertainty that flows around me once again to stay
3. Future Shock ´96
I saw it in a dream the day that changed our history I still can hear the screams swear it was no mystery In the heat of the blast Houses fell down into the ground This happened so fast Mankind disappeared without sound Now the world lives in shadow of atomic fear Can we win the fight for peace or will we disappear? Future Shock I saw it on the screen The day that changed our lives and history There goes our dream Nuked into the sky don't know why In the heat of the blast Watch the beauty of the mushroom cast It won't take long You won't live till the end of this song
4. Kill the King (Rainbow cover)
KILL THE KING (Music: Blackmore,Dio,Powell) Danger, danger the Queen's about to kill There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill Oh no, move me out of harm I need a spell and a charm Fly like the wind I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the King Tear him down Kill the King Strike him down Power, power it happens every day Power, devour all along the way Oh no, move me out of harm I need a spell and a charm Fly like the wind I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the King Treason, treason, the specter looms again Treason, treason, the realm is safe and then Oh no, move me out of harm I need a spell and a charm Fly like the rainbow I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the King Tear him down Kill the King Strike him down Kill the King He'll rule no more Strike him dead He'll rule no more Strike him dead The people roar Kill the King Take his head Down, down, down, down Oh, kill Oh, kill Oh, oh
