The Prison at the End of Time Lyrics

As my last footfalls came down

I opened my eyes and looked around

There was dust, stone, and rock just hanging there

Suspended in mid-air

It was more than my mind could bear

And as the last rays of light died down

I shut my eyes for I had found

Scattered rust, bone, a clock in disrepair - and palpable despair

Hanging over something of a town square (but nobody's there)

Get away - get away

Run away - run away

Get away - get away! (I must escape this place)

Run away - run away! (I can't win this race)

Roun' roun' runnin' and around 'round runnin' and around 'round runnin'

Roun' 'round runnin' and I found out runnin' that you can't outrun it

The prison at the end of time

Now every step I fake

Was one in life I feared to take

Each foot forward, relentlessly toward

Unobtainable reward - the clock must be restored

A time warlord with a blackened circuit board

Wrong I can't afford, cuz time is our reward

Roun' roun' runnin' and around 'round runnin' and around 'round runnin'

Roun' 'round runnin' and I found out runnin' that you can't outrun it

The prison at the end of time

The prison at the end of time

Get away - get away

Run away - run away

Get away - get away! (I must escape this place)

Run away - run away! (I can't win this race)

Roun' roun' runnin' and around 'round runnin' and around 'round runnin'

Roun' 'round runnin' and I found out runnin' that you can't outrun it

The prison at the end of time

My every instinct screams to flee

I no longer know how to be

I gotta keep movin' cuz time keeps pursuin'

It's life I'm choosin' but it's clear I'm losin'

Clock starts hummun' - a distant drummin'

Chords drone thrummin' - cuz hell's forthcomin!

Roun' roun' runnin' and around 'round runnin' and around 'round runnin'

The prison at the end of time

Roun' 'round runnin' and I found out runnin' that you can't outrun it

The prison at the end of time

Roun' roun' runnin' and around 'round runnin' and around 'round runnin'

The prison at the end of time

Roun' 'round runnin' and I found out runnin' that you can't outrun it

The prison at the end of time
