Fortune Traders' Curse: A Tale of Love, Hate, and Lost Time
Lyrics
Today the dawn has come to tell
Today marks the beginning of a revelation
A tale of fortune traders
Describing a story involving those who seek fortune
They came from far beyond the waves
These individuals came from distant places across the waves
The other night they spoke the curse
In a recent encounter, they uttered a curse
And put their masquerade on
Engaging in a deceptive act or pretense
Beware the eyes that cross the sane
A warning about the eyes that defy sanity
Will they turn to me?
Questioning whether their attention will shift towards the speaker
Down below the trail is where they walk
Referring to a path below, suggesting a secretive or mysterious journey
And now we leave this road again
Leaving the current path or situation
Take me back
An appeal to be taken back to a previous state
Back on the trail again
Expressing a desire to return to a familiar journey
Take me back
Reiterating the plea to be taken back
To pray for love and practice hate
Reflecting on the dichotomy of praying for love and practicing hate
Is what the silence taught us
Stating that silence has taught the speaker to balance love and hate
We went too far and far too late
Acknowledging that the journey went too far and is now too late
If there were a thousand years to waste
If there were a thousand years to waste, emphasizing the enormity of the mistake
Today the clock stopped ticking
The clock has stopped ticking, signifying a significant moment or realization
Goddamn the hours spent in vain
Expressing frustration about hours spent in vain
Will they die with me?
Pondering whether the consequences will be shared with the speaker
Servants of the dread is what they are
Describing them as servants of dread, indicating a malevolent influence
And now they take control again
Indicating a resumption of their control or influence
Take me back
Repeating the plea to be taken back to a previous state or journey
Back on the trail again
Reiterating the desire to return to a known path
Take me back
Repeating the plea to be taken back
