Twilight Years Lyrics - The Age Of Mastery - Jag Panzer

[lyrics by Harry Conklin] 

Ticking of time echoing into a memory 

Spending our lives on a wheel 

Spinning around unaware of it's heading 

Unguided course with the future as the keel 

Out of the past into the millennium 

Mastering life we're facing our fears 

The challenge is ours into the millennium 

We live in the twilight of the twilight years 

Lessons well learned so many retained 

Unless they are used they are lost 

Our conscience our guide on a new journey 

History's blood is the cost 

Silently we walk down a corridor of shame 

Unseen footsteps lead the way 

Finger points to a sea, a sea of voices screaming 

Go back, unlock our souls and throw away the key 

At our journeys end will hope still survive ? 

Who will walk this earth when we've all gone ? 

Time goes on unceasing every second is new hope 

Another circle of life another chance to change 

A new age is born out of despair 

New hope for this world is alive 

Our children will lead us on a new journey 

History's lessons will guide 

The future uncertain what dangers await ? 

Is the ticking of time on our side ? 

In this world so much hatred, sorrow and greed 

Only the strong will survive !
