Close to Me
Chronology Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[The Eye of Time:]
Stay close to me
And you'll see all my secrets
Wait patiently and when the right time comes

Open the door that will lead you to a place
You've never seen before
But you know how to name
Forget your fears, don't be so paralyzed
Now everything's so clear, just go ahead through me

I know what you feel, I know your reasons
You want to heal this dying universe

Don't care about what the unbelievers say
They don't understand it
They can't follow your way
You see the world
Through so different eyes
They're captured by the limits of their minds

Just chaos all around, you're almost out of time
The noise is too loud
Oh, can you hear my words?

The end has begun
And you are the One
Men's only hope
When there's nowhere to run

The Gods are waiting
You cannot fight your fate




Use my power
Before it's too late
