Jag Panzer - Twilight Years lyrics

rate me

[lyrics by Harry Conklin]

Ticking of time echoing into a memory

Spending our lives on a wheel

Spinning around unaware of it's heading

Unguided course with the future as the keel

Out of the past into the millennium

Mastering life we're facing our fears

The challenge is ours into the millennium

We live in the twilight of the twilight years

Lessons well learned so many retained

Unless they are used they are lost

Our conscience our guide on a new journey

History's blood is the cost

Silently we walk down a corridor of shame

Unseen footsteps lead the way

Finger points to a sea, a sea of voices screaming

Go back, unlock our souls and throw away the key

At our journeys end will hope still survive ?

Who will walk this earth when we've all gone ?

Time goes on unceasing every second is new hope

Another circle of life another chance to change

A new age is born out of despair

New hope for this world is alive

Our children will lead us on a new journey

History's lessons will guide

The future uncertain what dangers await ?

Is the ticking of time on our side ?

In this world so much hatred, sorrow and greed

Only the strong will survive !
