about

Another sparse arrangement to close the album.

lyrics

He stares and faces blowing sand,
A stark oasis breeze, and flaming land;
And bellows out his one demand
That all his doubt is doused instead of fanned.

Time will tell, but I have spoken.
Hour glasses cracked and broken,
Desert sand with grains of truth
Come spilling over shattered youth.
Time will tell, but I have spoken.

The scorching heat and burning lies
Have left him beaten, bleeding though he tries.
Through hope and luck he'll realize
His will won't buckle, nor believe his eyes.

At every dune he climbs and tames,
It's with a tune that he proclaims:

Time will tell, but I have spoken.
Laws of nature bent and broken.
Understand I overcome.
I gain as I grow tiresome.
Time will tell, but I have spoken.

But age accumulates.
The falling pebbles each are my own fates.
Alas, I must persist.
The rolling boulders pass the lives I've missed.
And stronger mountains loom,
But it is they who must make way to leave me room.
The old have more moons passed
As it's the wise who only wait out ones that last.

He didn't dwell on wins or loss.
His focus fell on order and chaos.
The throes of passion he would toss
Away would smash in paths he'd meant to cross.

At every dune he climbs and tames,
It's with a tune that he proclaims:

Time will tell, but I have spoken.
And my stride shall not be broken.
Spiting centuries occurred,
Alas I triumph on my word.
Time will tell, but I have spoken.
