The Time Machine

Put to the sword by an impish whim Follow me now to a place we begin Wrought with no anger, wrought with no fear Devilish children playing here Hidden in silence, below barren waste Confusion, hunger, am I still awake? Have I ever told you about my time machine? Sit you down, I'll tell you everywhere I've been I have lived a long life, life extraordinaire Let me tell you about it, let me take you there Does it really matter, it's all in the mind Let me tell you 'bout it, listen what you'll find I am not a preacher I am but a man You cannot imagine What I've seen and done I have lived a long life, I have seen the world I will tell you stories, hair will stand on end Stand among the steeples, stand upon the walls I have seen a God's face, I have no disgrace I have seen the Gods cry, howling in the wind Where do I get started, when can I begin? I am not a preacher I am but a man You cannot imagine What I've seen and done Ooh-ooh Sleep with a light that is dark to my eyes Father and sons, give me all of your lies The brutal truth that is never a lie Full moon is out as you look to the sky I am not a preacher I am but a man You cannot imagine What I've seen and done Open your heart and I'll open you soul Even in quieter moments, I know I am not a preacher I am but a man You cannot imagine What I've seen and done Eerie collection Darkness is there Wedded to danger Betrothed to despair
