Sweet child of innocence
Living in the present tense
'Father Time' will take his toll
Wreck your body and steal your soul

What became of all the years?
Are you drowning in your tears?
Who will catch you when you fall?
Who will hear you when you call?

I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through
I will take you through the door

And who do you think you are?
Try to live forever and you won't get far
And I wait behind your door
Makes no difference if you're rich or poor

Though you're weary and afraid
Still you try to flee my blade
Come and walk in my new land
If you'll only take my hand

I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through
I will take you through the door

In the image of those who walked before me here
I am cast in the web of an ancient spell
I am holding on to life, drifting in the sleep everything much clearer now
We live within this dream and never wake, never wake

Judge not by what you see
More than you can count are here with me
Give up your foolish pride
All that walk the earth have died!

What became of all the years?
Are you drowning in your tears?
Who will catch you when you fall?
Who will hear you when you call?

I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through
I will take you through the door

I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through
I will take you through the door
