Votum — Time Must Have A Stop lyrics

Lyrics

«But thought’s the slave of life, and life’s time’s fool
And time, that takes survey of all the world
Must have a stop»
— Henry IV, William Shakespeare
There’s no other way that all this would end
For me, here and now, time must have a stop
At last…
Knowing he’s at large somewhere
Waiting 'till my foot slips so he could get me
One day, one day
New born, wake me —
There’s a dream recurring in my head
New born, wake me —
With a chance to start over again
It’s the place out of sight
But I can see it before me…
It hurts
Again and again and again…
«Come now, I shall mold you
In the likeness and image
Of me.»
New born, wake me —
There’s a dream recurring in my head
New born, wake me —
With a chance to start over again
New born, wake me —
There’s a dream that’s recurring in my head
New born, wake me —
With a chance to start over again
There’s no other way that all this would end
For me, here and now, time must have a stop
At last…
Going outside seems a test of strength
Everywhere I can sense his scent
He moves now and then behind every shadow
Every face is his face, there’s a whisper again:
«Pain — we’re only here through pain
Through pain, through pain.»
The memory of touch brings shudder
The scars awake — I relive it all again
All again
There’s no peace for me 'till my days
End, no hand caressed the paths that never mend
Never mend…
Pain — we’re only here through pain
Through pain, through pain
