I'm taken through the hourglassnI'm being tossed upon the sandnAm I alonenThe words still linger in my headnnBreathing in the salty airnThere is a mark upon my handnIs there a seat for me among the dreaming deadnOh I wondernnI was sealed in a tomb of sadnessnI was trapped in a cell of sleepnI was held by the hands of timenNow this time is mine to keepnnI'm still alivenI'm far from the casket and cradlenI'm still alivenI've taken the fate out of fatalnI'm still alivennThey tied me to the pendulumnThey hung my heart across the skynI found my soul eclipsed, my body crucifiednnI was caged in the age of the miraclesnI was set in a hollow skynI was kept under shadow's locknNow I don't know how to diennI'm still alivenI'm far from the casket and cradlenI'm still alivenI've taken the fate out of fatalnI'm still alivennMy star is rising now, as the ferryman appearsnHe bears an offering, a piece of silver for my fearsnI couldn't cut the deal, mine is not his fate to buynAnd I as fly my canvas, he ascends on highnnShattering the earth and the heavensnI feel his icy breath of fire consuming menShattering the earth and the heavensnThe demon rises up, a bird of coal and flamenShattering the earth and the heavensnI am surrounded by the wings of water nownShattering the earth and the heavensnThey've come to lift me out of herennI'm still alivenI'm far from the casket and cradlenI'm still alivenI've taken the fate out of fatalnI'm still alive
