lyrics

Wading through the sands of a tired land, And wiping all the memories away
The universe at hand, I’m a solitary man, With nothing very much to say
Keeping man aware to what they must fear, The life the gods have made for me
I’m not looking back, played the chords from my stack, Won’t the truth let me be?

And then she descends before me
The symbol that could only be
The truth I looked for near and far
The Phantom Scimitar

The stars will burn until they die, And they don’t ask the reason why
The universe will fade, so what plan for us was made? The candle slowly burns its flame
The wise wrote the question on the wall, Long before we had to fall
It was lost in the sea, but it grew into a tree, And it bears the fruit for all to see
Chorus
Verse 3:
Time is the scimitar, An illusion that cuts from afar
We try to understand, time is relative to man, We are only grains of sand
