Timeworn
Wildpath Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why did you take him?
Oh... Why can't I forget him?
Oh... Why was he born in this mad family?
Who took his love and his life from me?
Is there a way to fade my pain away?
Is there a way to bring him back to me?
If I could change the past...
Oh... I would twist the time!
"Oh, you can save him from his destiny!"
Said the strange old man from nowhere.
"Go back in time, and grant your deepest wish"
I will be soon by your side my love!
Trapped in time, our love will never shine, even just for a while.
Keep me by your side, together we could live out of
Time,
Killing eternity by breeding a new fate.
And each glance we may share are just steps to our end.
Freed from your family,
Oh... You should be in my arms!
Yet, nowadays I can't find you again.
It looks like you never even existed.
Fate chose between our love and your life.
The strange old man thanked me, shedding a tear.
Trapped in time, our love will never shine, even just for a while.
Keep me by your side, together we could live out of
Time,




Killing eternity by breeding a new fate.
And each glance we may share are just steps to our end.
