[Music and Lyrics by Sielck]



Wind is howling through dusty canyons

a burning sun in a dying land

scorching heat in the plains of death

where blazing fire was taking a breath

here I stand in the desert sand

looking at what once has been

but all I see is wasted world

nothing's outlasted our sins

once we've been ruling

in valleys of green

now we are chained

in a realm of the machines



time - only time will tell

if there'll be heaven or hell

time - only time will tell

if there'll be heaven or hell

trails of destruction are marking the truth

testify to insanity

we challenged creation

the arrogance died

atomic thunder was burning the sky



seems as we're lost in the twilight of decay

unbent we'll break the chains

to rise again some day



time - only time will tell

if there'll be heaven or hell



the machinery is marching

as their powers are enlarging

built with precision and perfection

to serve a perfect world, to give protection

command turned into slavery

this is the bitter irony of history

but we will fight



[solo Piet]



time - only time will tell

if there'll be heaven or hell

...
