I am a captain out on a journey
Still have a long way till I ride
I take no prisoners
No one goes with me
I find no shelter from the scorns of time
I felt a shiver
When autumn breaks through
And says goodbye to wide summer skies
I've heard the rain pour
Though it might drown me
But still I walk through the scorns of time

And in my right hand
I hold my sorrow
And with my left hand
I reach for joy
We're all soldiers
Whether we fall or fight
None can run from the scorns of time

Without a dark sky there'll be no sunrise
Without a thorn there is no road
I'll have my triumph, my shelter of victory
When this battle comes to a close

And in my right hand
I hold my sorrows
And with my left hand
I reach for joy
We're all soldiers
Whether we fall or fight
None can run from the scorns of time
Ohm, none can run from the scorns of time
