Lyrics:
Like an army, lead by second hands
The arms are spinning faster now, I'm a bitter angry man
All the days are numbered, they go flying by
No way that I can stop this train, no hope to even try
It's all moving faster, never to be
It's all ever after, it's all destiny

Lines upon my face I see grow longer day by day
A slave to unseen masters, what a wicked game to play
Diggin' up the pieces of a broken checkered past
Torn and tattered memories of thing that never last

It's all moving faster, never to be
It's all ever after, it's all destiny

My world won't stop turning but I'm standing still
Waiting for nothing, no time to left kill
Dreams cost too much and sleep wastes my time
It's never enough for the peace I can't find

Tears I'm crying I've left to find
If I go nowhere I cross over the dotted line

I cross into the twilight in a calm wide open sea
To drown my sorrows on the rocks and tranquillity
The days of former glory, in the days when we were kings
Only in the memory, can we begin to dream

It's all moving faster, never to be
It's all ever after, it's all destiny
