Master of the Pendulum - Avantasia

Who‘s the one who‘s stretching out his hand

Is it it or is it me that won‘t lose hold

Take on to the pendulum and sway

Like a mistletoe I‘m clinging to the cold

I am the trellis for those in need

To twine around

The rock of ages for those

Who‘re meant to wander around

I got no time for a break

And we got no time to waste

I‘ll save it up in the pace

I‘ll quantify thoughts away

That you don‘t need anyway

Oh what a beautiful day…

Tic toc tic toc

Someone’s watching over me

Begging for a dance

While your sands are running out

Rigid and firm‘s what I hold in my hands

Tick away time, I allot and I divide

Master of the hands that guide you

Run if you can while the war drum‘s ticking on

Ancient of days, I‘m the shouldering pace

I will make you mine, I allot and I divide

Master of the hands that push you

That‘s who I am

The master of these hands

I lead the horse to the water and I make it drink

I‘m here to force precision just on everything

I feel your breath in my neck

I feel you behind my back

And as I‘m turning around

There’s just this frightening sound

I feel it everywhere

Oh I know that you‘re there

Angels fall

Time’s gonna winnow all

Dying dreams

Right from wrong

Dwell in a run

Turn the wheel

Something‘s reaching out for me
