I came from far beyond your reality

The ocean of time, it's the odyssey of mine

I am the narrator and now I'll tell you

Where I've been and what I saw and how it ends

 

Welcome to the wasteland

In a world that's turning faster

Where I'm alone for a while

 

It's turning faster away from light straight to the dark

The march of time it has begun

I'm caught in an ancient dream so bright

And then the march of time begins

 

The man in black he waits behind this last task

It's full of pain to sacrifice the only son

The legions of the lost wait in the old mine

They try to stop me, the battle it has begun

 

So I'm not afraid to walk down the wasteland

I'm so alone on my way and I don't fear

That dusty godforsaken path, somewhere far beyond

 

Somewhere far beyond

The march of time it has begun

Somewhere far beyond your reality

And then the march of time begins

 

Look at my soul and behind

There are some thins I've to hide from you

I'm following the black man, I'm losing control

And I don't care what's happening to the boy

 

Welcome to a new world

One more step to the dark tower

And my whole body's in flames, I'm looking for

Those healing things to be prepared

 

The march of time it has begun

I'm caught in a prisoner's dirty life

And then the march of time begins

 

The prisoner did bring the healing spell

The queen of shadows found herself in pain

And death brings answers to us all

 

What will I find when the dark tower appears?

Will it be the end or just a new quest after all?

I am the narrator and now I'll tell you

Where I'd been and what I saw and how it ends

 

Somewhere far beyond

The march of time it has begun

Somewhere far beyond your reality

And then the march of time

 

Somewhere far beyond

The march of time it has begun

Somewhere far beyond your reality

And then the march of time begins

 

Look around and see, the world is turning fast

Faster day by day, somewhere far beyond

I'll try to change it if I can, somewhere far beyond

There's only one chance and it lies somewhere far beyond

 

Somewhere far beyond

The march of time, it has begun

The march of time, it has begun
