[Verse 1]
From a distance, the truth is so obvious
Answers are all so clear
Logic stays at arm's length
When engulfed in the present, here
Desperation draws near
[Pre-Chorus 1]
If I could pull the fabric of time
And bring the future near
The answers wouldn't be so far
The truth would be so clear
[Chorus]
Time is black
Time is black
And nothing will escape
Nothing will remain
Nothing
[Verse 2]
From a distance, time is black
Tangible and dense
With each rotation, a new day passed
And past, at last, makes sense
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There where past obstacles seem
Just pebbles on your path
Always just a step ahead
The peace I hope to catch
[Chorus]
Time is black
Time is black
And nothing can escape
Nothing will remain
Nothing
[Solos]
[Chorus]
Time is black
Time is black
And nothing will escape
Nothing will remain
Nothing will remain
