<poem> | <poem> | ||
A weary traveler | A weary traveler upon days of journey travels across the forest's edge | ||
Sweat breaks his brow and like a salt wound continues to scar his flesh | Sweat breaks his brow and like a salt wound continues to scar his flesh | ||
Strips himself of | Strips himself of adventure's garments and eyes the great castles beyond | ||
He slowly ascends the sun brazen hillside whistling the death merchant's song | |||
Infinite iron gates allow no entrance for this mortal man | |||
He bitterly refuses to let go and blood paints the pain upon his hands | |||
Relative artistry on the dungeon stone as it crumbles with age | |||
As | As the era must become ashes and dust there's a skeleton of a fool who remained | ||
His step recedes from the sculpture of bones | |||
One before him who attempted to face the unknown | |||
Beyond the grim artwork of a priceless mold | |||
This masterpiece has already been sold | |||
Trapped in his own time | |||
He's just medieval man and you know what he wants | |||
But this is not your time | But this is not your time | ||
Try to understand | Try to understand the gates of the Renaissance | ||
A man unsheathes a form of suicide escape | |||
His lifeline severed reveals a final stain | |||
This world leaving the shell of a dream broken | |||
With his fatal wound the infinite gates open | |||
Trapped in his own time | |||
He's just medieval man and you know what he wants | |||
But this is not your time | |||
Try to understand the gates of the Renaissance | |||
Trapped in his own time, yeah | |||
Trapped in his own time | |||
