Fates Warning - Chasing Time Lyrics






I've watched in silence, without seeing
As a stranger within me grew.
Detached and distanced from the day
While youth's precious years flew.

Chasing time through empty skies
Of endless hours,
Living for the future.

Visions of brighter days to come
Kept the shadows from my sight,
Made the present bearable
And obscured the fading light.

Chasing time through the cold void
Of solitary days,
Living for the future.

Today is within my reach
And tomorrow is so illusive.
But I'm still chasing time
Through increasing disillusion,
Forever living for
The future of an illusion.

    τι να πεις....

  12. L.... ....

    Deep song.

  13. D.... ....

    If people needed "power ballads" back then (and they did, I saw the whole thing), why didn't they pay attention to this instead of crap from the "hair bands"?

    D.... ....

    I don't really consider this song a "power ballad" myself . Fates Warning needs to be considered with Rush , Kansas , Pink Floyd more than the typical hair metal act .

  14. k.... ....

    still have all their "records" from the 80's

  15. E.... ....
