Out of Time

I am out of time I am outside of my mind No reason or rhyme No time for thinking Never a time for drinking My ship is sinking Some people would say I'm living back in "the day" It's my only way Come with me and see Experience what's to be It's our destiny Of things yet to come It's a scary thought to some From where I come from Grab onto my hand We will fly over the land Over sea and sand Distant pyramids And now we are here amid Ghosts of the abyss Now we're out of time I am seeking what is mine Now we're out of mind Here in worlds sublime Seek there what is yours to find I'll help you in kind What there do you see? A stone cold reality? Shifting sands for thee Sun will make cold flee To warm the soul and body Take what's yours, it's free Tell us what will be Shadows, shades and ghosts we see There for you and me Heed what I say now Hold fast to my hand and gown It's a long way down What do the ghosts say? Be thou brave and not afraid For you will be saved From tomb, doom and grave But wisely you must behave In time that He gave Not all will suffice In the Son He sacrificed His Wisdom is nice Thoughts of creation But His Word is salvation To save this nation Listen long and hard Listen with your mind and heart Follow your soul's chart Time is not your friend It's out of time in the end No more time to send Yes, out of time there Oh, But out of time is where We have time to spare Ending of an age Will finally set the stage For poet and sage To come and play now To finally take a bow And show us all how We'll dance all day long Join with me and sing His song The way down is long...
