Time Itself Songtext
von Ancient Empire

Run a man through
In a war already fought
Kill or be killed
Where I′m from, he's already dead
This blood so like mine
Staining the length of my blade
Do I believe?
Something not human lies at my feet?

Know the enemy
So hard when you′ve never seen one

No time for rest
Another challenges me
I must advance over fields of death and mud
I could use my gun
And end all these savages now
But only a sword
A weapon from this distant age

Know the enemy
So hard when you've never seen one


The faces in the gun sight
Could almost be mine
Are these ancient warriors
I meet on the line?
So long in endless battle
Beginning to see
It makes monsters of us all
Time's the enemy

Target ahead
A hidden village in the night
Defenceless now
Their men lay butchered
They don′t belong
This stronghold in our history
Invasive force
They must die so that we may live

Horrors of war
All you′ve seen and what you've done
Desensitized ′til you feel no regret
The bodies fall
The centuries have brought me here
So very close to the edge of the abyss

Defend the future
A time when you won't exist


The faces in the gun sight
Could almost be mine
Are these ancient warriors
I meet on the line?
So long in endless battle
Beginning to see
It makes monsters of us all
Time′s the enemy
