"Master Of The Pendulum" lyrics - AVANTASIA

Who's the one who's stretching out his hand
Is it it or is it me that won't lose hold
Take on to the pendulum and sway
Like a mistletoe I'm clinging to the cold

I am the trellis for those in need
To twine around
The rock of ages for those
Who're meant to wander around

I got no time for a break
And we got no time to waste
I'll save it up in the pace
I'll quantify thoughts away
That you don't need anyway
Oh what a beautiful day...

[Pre-Chorus:]
Tic toc tic toc
Someone's watching over me

[Chorus:]
Begging for a dance
While your sands are running out
Rigid and firm's what I hold in my hands
Tick away time, I allot and I divide
Master of the hands that guide you
Run if you can while the war drum's ticking on
Ancient of days, I'm the shouldering pace
I will make you mine, I allot and I divide
Master of the hands that push you

That's who I am
The master of these hands

I lead the horse to the water and I make it drink
I'm here to force precision just on everything

I feel your breath in my neck
I feel you behind my back
And as I'm turning around
There's just this frightening sound
I feel it everywhere
Oh I know that you're there

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Angels fall
Time's gonna winnow all
Dying dreams
Right from wrong
Dwell in a run
Turn the wheel
Something's reaching out for me

[Chorus]
