Master of the Pendulum

Master of the Pendulum - Avantasia

Lyrics by：Tobias Sammet

Composed by：Tobias Sammet

Who's the one who's stretching out his hand

Is it it or is it me that won't lose hold

Take on to the pendulum and sway

Like a mistletoe I'm clinging to the cold

I am the trellis for those in need to twine around

The rock of ages for those who're meant to wander around

I got no time for a break

And we got no time to waste

I'll save it up in the pace

I'll quantify thoughts away

That you don't need anyway oh what a beautiful day

Tic toc tic toc

Someone's watching over me

Begging for a dance

While your sands are running out

Rigid and firm's what I hold in my hands

Tick away time I allot and I divide

Master of the hands that guide you

Run if you can while the war drum's ticking on

Ancient of days I'm the shouldering pace

I will make you mine I allot and I divide

Master of the hands that push you

That's who I am

The master of these hands

I lead the horse to the water and I make it drink

I'm here to force precision just on everything

I feel your breath in my neck

I feel you behind my back

And as I'm turning around

There's just this frightening sound

I feel it everywhere

Oh I know that you're there

Tic toc tic toc

Someone's watching over me

Begging for a dance while your sands are running out

Rigid and firm's what you hold in your hands

Tick away time you allot and you divide

Master of the hands that guide you

Run if you can while the war drum's ticking on

Ancient of days you're the shouldering pace

I will make you mine I allot and I divide

Master of the hands that push you

Angels fall

Time's gonna winnow all

Dying dreams

Right from wrong

Dwell in a run

Turn the wheel

Something's reaching out for me

Begging for a dance

While your sands are running out

Rigid and firm's what I hold in my hands

Tick away time I allot and I divide

Master of the hands that guide you

Run if you can while the war drum's ticking on

Ancient of days I'm the shouldering pace

I will make you mine I allot and I divide

Master of the hands that push you
