Ascension

The time machine

Ascension
If I could only turn back time and stop
Her falling through my hands
Just like the sand through the glass
I've got to get her back
Four years I shut myself away
And did not sleep a night or day
A great machine I must design
An hourglass to turn back time

It was the night that I proposed
As we were walking through the snow
And as I gazed into your eyes we were taken by surprise
And on this winter's night, so cold
I feel the fear, it's taking hold
There was a struggle, I tried to fight
And then he stole away her life

From the barrel of the gun
One bullet, she is gone
I have to go back to save her
I'll travel through time!

Back to that night, her eyes were still bright
But just when I saved her she died again

And every time the sky was black
I felt a coldness in her hands
Why can't I save her, get her back?
I can't begin to understand

I'd sacrifice and give it all
If I could have just one more kiss
I have the power of a God, yet I am still powerless
So as I slowly lost my mind
And then lost track of all the days
I could go back a thousand times
And watch her die a thousand ways

And as the shot rang through the air
It was too much for me to bear
That's why I built it
To save her I'll travel through time

Back to the past
When I saw her last
But just when I held her she died again

Now that I've lost my only love
What reason do I have to stay?
So when I realized she's gone
I went forward through time

To the unknown, now I am alone
To search for an answer
Why can't she remain?

And so at last I have arrived
A stranger lost in a strange time
Yet still no answer to my woe
Why didn't I just let him go?
I sense there's something very wrong
I think I've known it all along
I must give up, for I have failed
There is no light in this new dawn

I only built it cause she died
It won't exist if she survives
That's why I never can save her
I cannot fight time!

The sky's turning black
I can't get her back
And never can save her from dying again
