Chronicler Lyrics


Verse 1

Time and time again

I look upon their reign

Still never do I see any rhyme or reason

Their errors teach them not

They live by afterthought

For their faults they accuse their kind of treason

Verse 2

Chronicles untold

and legends I withhold

Yet this world never ceases to surprise me

From their births to their end

their history is penned

They live their lives in ignorance, carefree

Chorus

My plight is to watch them,

tasked by the universe to witness the rise and the fall

The eternal sage that wanders indifferently

for theirs is this world to ruin or rejuvenate

Interlude

I behold myriads of stars that burst in flames and give new life

and gods and titans engulfing worlds in cosmic war

Yet in their feeble minds they are the center of all strife

They pray to gods yet see themselves as much more

Such self-importance has led greater reigns to their downfall

long before the horsemen could reap their souls

They fail to see that greater beings rule above all

although they worship them in their holy scrolls

Chorus

My plight is to watch them,

tasked by the universe to witness the rise and the fall

The eternal sage that wanders indifferently

for theirs is this world to ruin or rejuvenate

Verse 3

All that I have seen cannot compare to their turmoil

It seems whatever they find they will spoil

Throughout the eons when I’ve wandered I’ve come to realize

some things are meant not to change and I must leave them alone to die
