Blind Guardian
Time What Is Time (Live in Tokyo)
[Verse 1]
When the moonchild is crying
And silence has broken
The darkest truth
The things she remembered
Had never been her own
Replicant or human
I know the way to show

[Pre-Chorus 1]
What do I see
What will I find
Know the answer inside
It's your last step

[Chorus]
Time, what is time?
I wish I knew how to tell you why
It hurts to know
Aren't we machines
Time, what is time?
Unlock the door
And see the truth
Then time is time again

[Verse 2]
Whispering, these dreams were never mine
It's cold inside
It's gone forever, the things he saw
Who can say what's wrong or right
The vision of a free life
His eyes had seen it all
For what he's asking
The vision, vision, vision
I know it's all a lie
[Bridge]
I'll remember his past life
And I'll remember time

[Pre-Chorus 2]
What did I see
What have I done
God I knew the answers
When he felt so tired

[Chorus]
Time, what is time?
Come lock the door don't let me in
I am the one
Your destiny
Time, what is time?
Reality, it hurts me so
When time is time again

[Verse 3]
Look into my eyes
Feel the fear just for a while
I'm a replicant and I love to live
Is it all over now?
Only these years
I'll leave but I'm singing
[Chorus]
Time, what is time?
He saw it clearly, it's too late
It does not heal, but it lets us forget
Time, what is time?
We'll never know
So don't take care
Then time is time again

[Outro]
Should I forget the way I feel?
God, he knows how long I tried
Feel there is no reason to cry
I live my life in fortune dreams forever
