Put to the sword by an impish whim
~#**************#~
Follow me now to a place we begin
~#**************#~
Wrought with no anger, wrought with no fear
~#**************#~
Devilish children playing here
~#**************#~
Hidden in silence, below barren waste
~#**************#~
Confusion hunger, am I still awake?
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Have I ever told you about my time machine?
~#**************#~
Sit you down ,Ill tell you everywhere Ive been
~#**************#~
I have lived a long life, life extraordinaire
~#**************#~
Let me tell you about it, let me take you there
~#**************#~
Does it really matter? Its all in the mind
~#**************#~
Let me tell you about it, listen what youll find
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I am not a preacher, I am but a man
~#**************#~
You cannot imagine what Ive seen and done
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
I have lived a long life, I have seen the world
~#**************#~
I could tell you stories, hair will stand on end
~#**************#~
Stand among the steeples, stand upon the walls
~#**************#~
I have seen a gods face, I have no disgrace
~#**************#~
I have seen the gods cry, howling in the wind
~#**************#~
Where do I get started? When can I begin?
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I am not a preacher, I am but a man
~#**************#~
You cannot imagine what Ive seen and done
~#**************#~
[Bridge 1]
~#**************#~
Sleep with a light that is dark to my eyes
~#**************#~
Father and sons, give me all of your lies
~#**************#~
The brutal truth, that is never a lie
~#**************#~
Full moon is out, as you look to the sky
~#**************#~
[Instrumental Break]
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I am not a preacher, I am but a man
~#**************#~
You cannot imagine what Ive seen and done
~#**************#~
[Guitar Solos]
~#**************#~
[Bridge 2]
~#**************#~
Open your heart and Ill open your soul
~#**************#~
Even in quieter moments, I know
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I am not a preacher, I am but a man
~#**************#~
You cannot imagine what Ive seen and done
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Eerie collection, darkness is there
~#**************#~
Wedded to danger, betrothed to despair
