Chasing Time - Lyrics - Fates Warning
Fates Warning is an American progressive metal band, formed in 1982 by vocalist John Arch, guitarists Jim Matheos and Victor Arduini, bassist Joe DiBiase, and drummer Steve Zimmerman in Hartford, Connecticut. Fates Warning has experienced numerous line-up changes. From 1982 to 1996 â and temporarily in 2010 â Matheos and DiBiase were the only remaining original members of the band, with Matheos being the only constant member. Their current lineup consists of guitarists Jim Matheos and Frank Aresti, vocalist Ray Alder, bassist Joey Vera, and drummer Bobby Jarzombek. As a pioneer of the American progressive metal movement, Fates Warning rose to international fame in the 1980s and was ranked as one of the early "flagship bands of progressive metal" along with Queensrÿche, who were responsible for creating, developing and popularizing that genre.
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
I've watched in silence, without seeing
as a stranger within me grew.
Detached and distanced from the day
while youth's precious years flew.
Chasing time through empty skies
of endless hours,
living for the future.
Visions of brighter days to come
kept the shadows from my sight,
made the present bearable
and obscured the fading light.
Chasing time through the cold void
of solitary days,
living for the future.
Today is within my reach
and tomorrow is so illusive.
but I'm still chasing time
through increasing disillusion,
forever living for
the future of an illusion.
