Knightmare parody of 'Days Are Numbers (The Traveller)' by The Alan Parsons Project The line "Abandoning reality, unsure of what he'll find / The traveller in me is close behind" reminded me of all the young Knightmare viewers glued to their TV screens while the dungeoneers ventured into a perilous world of illusion. :) The chorus was inspired by Duncan's death in Series 5, when he tried to reach Level 2 via the Descender (a magical, voice-activated lift). The team were supposed to count the floors and tell the device when to stop, but messed it up and sent him to the wrong place – namely the Corridor of Blades, which immediately sawed him in half! Parody lyrics The dungeoneer must walk onward and down He never is allowed to turn around And if the path he's chosen isn't leading anywhere His team will be completely unaware The dungeoneer's a long way from his home In danger of a kind he's never known Where every sidestep seems to be a pace towards defeat There's always one more monster left to beat Days are numbered Watch those saws He can only see blue floor Some say... you won't get too far Remember Days are numbered Count those floors He should only go down four Wrong way... you won't get too far The dungeoneer obeys the warning cry He doesn't know what all the others spy But someone screaming in his ear keeps telling him to run He isn't told the reason, but it's done The dungeoneer is gladly facing doom He cannot have adventures in his room Abandoning reality, unsure of what he'll find The dungeoneer in me is close behind Days are numbered Watch those saws He can only see blue floor Some say... you won't get too far Remember Days are numbered Count those floors He should only go down four Wrong way... you won't get too far Remember Days are numbered Watch those saws He can only see blue floor Some say... you won't get too far Original lyrics – audio The traveller is always leaving town He never has the time to turn around And if the road he's taken isn't leading anywhere He seems to be completely unaware The traveller is always leaving home The only kind of life he's ever known When every moment seems to be a race against the time There's always one more mountain left to climb Days are numbers Watch the stars We can only see so far Someday... you'll know where you are Remember Days are numbers Count the stars We can only go so far One day... you'll know where you are The traveller awaits the morning tide He doesn't know what's on the other side But something deep inside of him keeps telling him to go He hasn't found a reason to say no The traveller is only passing through He cannot understand your point of view Abandoning reality, unsure of what he'll find The traveller in me is close behind Days are numbers Watch the stars We can only see so far Someday... you'll know where you are Remember Days are numbers Count the stars We can only go so far One day... you'll know where you are Remember Days are numbers Watch the stars We can only see so far Someday... you'll know where you are Back
