Fates Warning - Traveler In Time Lyrics
Old man time, Wisdom and Rhyme
Seeker of reason, reaper of time
Born to a spell
He walks the beaten path to hell
Rusty shackles of time burden his mind
In a flash of the lightning he's come and gone
The clock strikes the hours, he climbs to the belfry
As he's done a thousand hours before
Many dark years, not a vacant hour through
War and fear had the bell been ever strayed
Hypnotized rhythmic pendulum synchronized
With the beat of the old man's heart
Man or machine he's living a dream
Forever the clock lives so does he
Forever awake in his brass bed
Who holds the key
It's all a matter of time
Is there Reason or Rhyme - is there?
Traveler in time
Another left behind - you are
Tangled in the web of time
You've swallowed the pill of illusion
Writings so clear on the wall
You waste in seclusion
Mirror reflects the mark of the crowfoot
In his eyes now he realize
Nearing his hour he climbs to the belfry
As he's done a thousand hours before
Moon of blue is in the sky
West wind he whispers why
Sacrifice living for life his perpetual vice
Lonely win blows through his empty soul
He cries a river of tears on the clock below
Nothings forever and time will tell
His tears rust the clock and he died as well

Fates Warning Traveler In Time Comments
The new goal of my life: find a song that has the word "time" in its title and has no clock-ticking in it.
The cover seems to be as captured from ZX Spectrum or Commodore games....
Love playing this on guitar
post a cover, i'd love to see it
Old but gold!
Gänsehaut pur!
This is a tremendous song. It sort has a doom metal sound, especially the intro. But it's still got that classic FW progressive sound to it as well. Would gothic be an accurate way of describing the atmosphere of this song?
Great Band, super song, nice artwork. I`ve got the vinyl version.
The second and third albums are just hallowingly awesome. John Arch's voice is perfect for these songs. Even better live.
Wow this such a underratted band :(
One of the best heavy metal songs ever made.
These guys are awesome,but not even close to Maiden!!
they are very influenced by maiden, but already on this album, far more advanced. Awaken the Guardian is the pinnacle of this sound. It sounds like Maiden and Rush jamming on shrooms.
not even close because they aren't Maiden
You guys are absolutely ridiculous. I absolutely love all those bands so i hate comparing them. Maiden 4 ever, though. Seriously lol
I dont agree, Fates warning is very well known by those who have a metal history.Comparing this to Maiden is like comparing Metalica to Testament or the other side of the spectrum Sepultura. John Arch is just an amazing singer and this band is very prog. A brilliant combination i think.
a very underrated song and a very underrated band. they seem better than iron maiden.
