In the shadows hides his weapon,
In the shadows he's nothing more than a long black hooded cape,
Kids walk by convinced that their imagination is playing scary games,

But when all is lost and death dwells near,
Shaking old men do fear,

Waiting for the sirens of death to ring,
And the puppets of war to get pulled by their strings,

When the city and it's people with it have died,
It's interesting to know that,
Death survived.

I sit patiently while my life ticks by,
It's almost like I've been in a waiting room for my whole life,
It is my fault,
No one else's but mine,

You see me as a victim to time,
Because I've just been staring at the clock waiting for my life to fly by,
I wanted to grow up too fast,
And now I see my childhood is going past,

All the time that I look at my reflection,
The more I don't recognize the person staring back at me,
I'm getting older, changing by the days,
I'm just left wondering what has happened to me,
And I wish and wish hopelessly,
that someday maybe I'll be able to just be....
Cause' time is ticking and it's chasing me.
