Tears in the eyes of age Whisper softly silent sounds Tears in the eyes of age See a world turned upside-down Time drifting slowly Through the eyes of the Oracle Can I ask a question? What does the future hold? Sign of the times my friend So much at your fingers' ends Sign of the times my friend Never reaching things you see Life passing quickly See the eyes of the Oracle Can I ask a question? What's left for me? Came see the Oracle the prophet looks my way No tricks or crystal gazing, No words to say Open your mind to every single thing you see All that's good and evil will be frozen in your dreams So walk with me my friend there's nothing left to fear The things you hope to see have never been so near Now every day will hold a brighter sun you'll say I'd pray for darkness it's the price of sight you'll pay
