Time carries on, never looking back Journeying on to where blue meets black The cots are a’ sway with the rolling of the waves As the ship’s crew rests in their evening graves The flags scrape the sky, their colors raised high Stretching out towards the horizon lines This stealth silhouette is the life that he bet The night that the helmsman gambled with Death
Alone in the night he solemnly stands With compass gripped tightly in ancient tired hands Years at sea have taken their toll So the reaper appears to claim his soul
Time carries on, never looking back Journeying on to where blue meets black The cots are a’ sway with the rolling of the waves As the ship’s crew rests in their evening graves The helmsman grows pale with the silence of sails Death whispers softly from behind its veil “With a roll of these dice you can fight for your life Evens you’ll win, but odds are you’ll die”
He who lay waking must come to decide His fate awaits on one of six sides As he rises, their eyes are met This deadly wager he accepts
Time carries on, never looking back Journeying on to where blue meets black The cots are a’ sway with the rolling of the waves As the ship’s crew rests in their evening graves The dice are thrown, and time has now slowed The breath of Death’s winds have begun to blow Staking his life on a game of chance One man trapped in macabre dance
Time carries on, never looking back Journeying on to where blue meets black The cots are a’ sway with the rolling of the waves As the ship’s crew rests in their evening graves And now here he lies with stars in his eyes Scenes of his life leave him paralyzed Gone to where no one has even explored And seen what no man has ever seen before
