I am a man, I am the wind
I am all your deepest sins
I am the sun, I am the moon
I am all your sweetest tunes
And when the time calls upon me, I will know where to go
The petals will fall past me as I find my way home
As I find my way home
I am Achilles on a mountain, Standing beside the hour glass, I am a hero, I am a thief
I am a resurrected man
And when the time calls upon me, I will know where to go
The petals will fall past me as I find my way home
As I find my way home
I am a rhythm, I am a beat
I am that curse walking down the street I am a cheat, I am a liar
I am no one's desire
And when the time calls upon me, I will know where to go
The petals will fall past me as I find my way home
