lyrics

Creator of life can you hear, Oh I'm calling you
Answer the questions that I bring before you, 'cuz I need to know the truth

Why does the earth turn forever? (whoa) why does the sky have no ending?
Why are we born, and we must die oh can you explain 'cuz I need to know why?

I've lost someone who knew many answers, young one's calling, and I can't explain

Why did it happen to be? the beginning and the end
Won't you tell me why they must leave us, 'cuz I need to know the truth

Now I am one as the teacher, why did it happen so quickly?
I didn't have time to say bye and I can't understand it, how can it be?

Time goes on for those of us to face it, life moves on and then it goes away

Here are the answers you seek, the beginning IS the end
You must reach your own destination, if you want to find the truth

Time will bring us all together, somewhere amongst all the heavens
The cycle of life brings us pleasure and pain is it all just a game we will see

The cycle of life goes on and on
The cycle of life goes on and on
The cycle of life goes on and on
The cycle of life goes on and on

Biased bassist opinion: The bass guitar driven sound of this massive power metal masterpiece made me want to grab MY bass and learn every song in a way that hasn't happened to me since the first time I heard Iron Maiden - Powerslave! These aural annihilation anthems are filled with expert musicianship and exquisite lyrics belted by one of the best voices metal has to offer! Do not pass this one up! annimax_metal
