A time traveler must sacrifice himself in order to preserve his future self's relationship with one, to whom he cares more deeply about, than the fabric of time itself.
lyrics
These words will never reach you.
I shout through space and time.
I’ve found I’m a contradiction, a paradox, a lie.
I cry out, break my voice, a last farewell my dear.
I’m going back to my world turning back the years.
Days and years will pass me by.
Centuries unravel with the blink of an eye.
It's not a question if the answers are written before us,
I know this.
Erase my precious condemned existence,
So without words goodbye.
I’m searching for a meaning,
The seas can’t fill this void.
The hour now approaches,
Death knocks at my door.
I breath out through the fire,
I see my passage clear.
Reuniting with the future,
I’ll meet you in a thousand years.
Days and years will pass me by.
Centuries unravel with the blink of an eye.
It's not a question if the answers are written before us,
I know this.
Erase my precious condemned existence,
So without words goodbye.
I’ll throw away the past as it were dead.
Everything I’ve ever lived for lies ahead.
Close your eye it’s like I’m staring at a sky of dying stars.
So I throw away the past as it were dead...
Days and years will pass me by.
Centuries unravel with the blink of an eye.
It's not a question if the answers are written before us,
I know this.
Erase my precious condemned existence,
So without words goodbye.
