Shadow Out of Time

Twenty-two years of nightmares and terror in my heart
Trapped inside myself, my physical form was left behind

My body governed by something
Far more gracious and evolved
Identity theft on a cosmic scale
As I'm trapped in another world

Through amnesia and through the fear
Through my memories and hope
Something strange, quite unreal
A Greater Race gained control

Accept the cosmos
Life is not what it seemed to be
In the seething vortex of time
We ride unaware

I see
Inside
My mind
An endless reaction

To be
Denied
By time
Dismantled horizon

A five-year lapsus
Body was not mine
Host controlled my life
Right through synapsis

Flashes of warzones

Grasping their knowledge
Learning to survive

Accept the cosmos
Life is not what it seemed to be
In the seething vortex of time
We ride unaware

I see
Inside
My mind
The endless reaction

To be
Denied
By time
Dismantled horizon

I see
Inside
My mind
To be
Denied
By time
