The sands of time, they slip away Through our fingers day by day Countless grains, a steady stream Lost forever like a fleeting dream Each grain a moment, a memory gone A story told, a love once shone A laughter shared, a tear shed All swept away as time marches ahead Always chasing something more Lifeline treading a fine line The future's knocking at the door Sands of time So merciless What are you waiting for? The pendulum swings back and forth The sands of time, they never cease A never-ending cycle of release Of what was once and what will be A reminder of our own mortality Always chasing something more Lifeline treading a fine line The future's knocking at the door Sands of time So merciless What are you waiting for? The pendulum swings back and forth Sands of time So merciless What are you waiting for? The pendulum swings back and forth The pendulum swings back and forth
