Song lyrics

Put to the sword by an impish whim
Follow me now to a place we begin,
Wrought with no anger, wrought with no fear,
Devilish children playing here,
Hidden in silence, below barren waste,
Confusion hunger, am I still awake?

Have I ever told you about my time machine?
Sit you down, I'll tell you everywhere I've been.
I have lived a long life, life extraordinaire,
Let me tell you about it, let me take you there.
Does it really matter, it's all in the mind?
Let me tell you about it, listen what you'll find.

I am not a preacher, I am but a man,
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done.

I have lived a long life, I have seen the world,
I could tell you stories, hair will stand on end.
Stand among the steeples, stand upon the walls,
I have seen a god's face, I have no disgrace.
I have seen the gods cry, howling in the wind,
Where do I get started, when can I begin?

I am not a preacher, I am but a man,
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done.

Sleep with a light that is dark to my eyes,
Father and sons give me all of your lies,
The brutal truth, that is never a lie,
Full moon is out, as you look to the sky.

I am not a preacher, I am but a man,
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done.

Open your heart and I'll open your soul,
Even in quieter moments I know.

I am not a preacher, I am but a man,
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done.

Eerie collection, darkness is there,
Wedded to danger, betrothed to despair.
