[Verse 1]

You cautiously contort as you enter the cave

A stream trickles by as the night overtakes the day

Adverbs, adjectives, they fail to describe

The many strange sights that overcome your tiring eyes

Bioluminescent mushrooms and glow worms, they guide you

As something new and strange stirs inside you

This quest and this place make no sense at face value

But something very odd does indeed seem to corral you

Ever deeper, you start to see thе creepers, the crawlers

Thе tiny eyeless fish and bottom trawlers

Suddenly your heart begins to spasm

As the cave, it opens up into an underground cavern


[Bridge]

Moss, trees, crystals, streams, purple amethyst

Jut forth here and somehow subsist

Even so, you’re still in a crack in the earth

You snap off a crystal and you wonder at its worth


[Verse 2]

Instantly the ground starts to shake with a quake

You hear alarm bells ringing, drop the crystal, and it breaks

Oh shit, oh no, the way you came back in is closed

You start to move across the room and then you see the stream’s froze

Not frozen in ice, but in time the room’s fixed

The images around you slowly cease to exist

The room’s a dark black trap and tells only lies

And through the dark now you see pair upon pair of red eyes

You search for an exit as the eyes draw near

You have a vision of the constable standing on the pier

You feel a knock on your head, and your knees start to go

Time will say nothing but I told you so


[Outro]

Oh, time

Time will say nothing but I told you so

Oh, time

You know that time will say nothing but I

Oh, time (Maybe it’s just you and me)

Time will say nothing but I told you so (Maybe we’re just nobody)

Oh, time

Time will say nothing but I

Oh, time (Maybe it’s just you and me)

Time will say nothing but I told you so (Maybe we’re just nobody)

Oh, time

Time will say nothing but I

Oh, time

But there’s no way that I can go back

The sea is blue and the past is black

If I could see the future I would let you know

But time will say nothing but I told you so
