Tribute to the Past Lyrics

(Rubach/Hansen)

He had found a way to leave to
Somewhere far from now
Travelling in his timemachine,
A dream had come true
Fly my friend,
You will see
Something called reality
I feel good,

I'm alright, doing what I please
I travel time

Chorus:

Far beyond the rising sun
I ride the wings of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs
Back to the past again

I just want to save the universe for all mankind
He wants to save the future of the earth
Step by step
Surroundings change as years go passing by
He only stops to gaze a little while

I push the button further on,
I just can't get enough
I know I will return again
But still I'm movin' on

Chorus

As I am movin' on I see things to come.
I see tears and I hear laughter
Curiosity, comin' over me what is next
And what will happen?
And I see the lies and I hear the cries and the marchin' of the people
As they go to war, Heaven knows what for!
God I think I've had enough now

Too late, too late - I can't go back no more!
I lost control of the engine
No light, no light - can't see where I have gone!
Can't see where I have now gone to

Where am I now?
Stranded in time...

So many years have passed since I've been gone
And I have seen what's gonna be
But now I know it is useless to travel on and on
And I will return to the time and place I belong to

Ahh....

Chorus (2 times):

Far beyond the rising sun
I ride the wings of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs
Back to the past!

Ehh...

Ow...!
