Song Description
Nature (represented in the stones, sea, trees) is summoned to truthfully reveal all the secret things it has witnessed.
Time may one day see this unfold. It's possible that all the injustice and evil of the world will be made known if they are allowed

Lyrics
Time will tell
Tell it to me, all that you?ve seen, no lies
Witnessing scenes, all kinds of things, we hide
Whispering stones, What have we done? Who do you accuse?
CHORUS:
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
What has been done
Deep call to me, What do you keep? What?s been spoken?
Rumours of war, canon-fire roar, vessels sunken?
You guard the souls, resting in you, beneath the ocean
CHORUS
Shimmering trees, lift up your heads and boughs
Tenderly speak, softly to me, ancient prophecies
For all who have ears, listening ears, will hear
BRIDGE:
Oceans give up your dead
Valleys, hills lift them high
Tell us all, all that?s been ever said
Shout out secrets and lies
INSTRUMENTAL
FINAL CHORUS:
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
What has been done
What we have done
What we?ll become
What has been done
