The Sands of Time by Stretch Heart Lyrics

Try and fail to leave yourself
Lust and greed both lead to hell
Reach for power beyond your grasp
Left behind are the shells of man

The sands of time beyond our eyes
Draining fast despite our cries
The end of life, the start of time
Watched with the endless mind
Betray your skin, the rest is sin
Transcend the limits of your kin
Forget your name, live in vain
The lessons catch us all again

Flee your life
Chains grow tight

Fame, fortune, friends, or name
Balance them and watch them slain
One for all, one for naught
One for one, all shall fall
Fall

I'm falling down
There is no ground
Will I land or will I crash
Forget about
Leaving without
Bringing hell to those you knew

Fall

Run from all you ever knew
Though all roads lead to truth
You still want to play this game
Escape your name and your fate

There's no hiding
Or disguising
Sanctifying
Abstractizing
Righteous dying
You're now blinding
Agrandizing
Absence Binding

The sands of time beyond our eyes
Draining fast despite our cries
The end of life, the start of time
Watched with the endless mind
Betray your skin, the rest is sin
Transcend the limits of your kin
Forget your name, live in vain
Lessons catch us all again
Now you know your life is sold
Your efforts broken by the cold
Innocence has left our Earth
Chained up by your own birth
And on you'll strive to make a life
With what is left to build and buy
Forward we fall
Time ends all

Time ends all
