The Ink of Time

(Ah-ah…) Stories written in the sand… (Ah-ah…) Truth or myth by someone's hand… A tale preserved in golden frame Told a thousand times the same Yet turn the page the ink still bleeds Truth rewritten by their needs Who was silenced who was saved? Who decided what remained? History's a looking glass But can you trust the past? (Oh-oh!) Who holds the pen that shapes the lies? (Oh-oh!) Who decides what truth survives? Lines are drawn and names erased A story told but rearranged (Oh-oh!) The past is not a tale divine It's just the ink of time… Statues carved from whispered prayers Shadows hide in royal chairs The victors write the lost are gone Who remembers what went wrong? Who was silenced who was saved? Who decided what remained? History's a looking glass But can you trust the past? (Oh-oh!) Who holds the pen that shapes the lies? (Oh-oh!) Who decides what truth survives? Lines are drawn and names erased A story told but rearranged (Oh-oh!) The past is not a tale divine It's just the ink of time… "The records were lost" "This is the only account that remains" "We must protect the truth" (Oh-oh!) Who's the author? Who's the thief? (Oh-oh!) What's been hidden underneath? (Oh-oh!) Who holds the pen that shapes the lies? (Oh-oh!) Who decides what truth survives? Lines are drawn and names erased A story told but rearranged (Oh-oh!) The past is not a tale divine It's just the ink of time… They carved their names in blood and stone Swore that time was theirs alone Empires rise and empires fall Yet we've learned nothing at all (Ah-ah…) Stories written in the sand… (Ah-ah…) Truth or myth by someone's hand…
