The Hourglass

Nothing will ever be the same
There's a the dark corruption spreading
Deep inside our vains

Downward is the only way, she said
Lets aim for the skies, he replied
The maelstrom takes us all, she said
We stay strong and survive
Nothing we can do, she said
Hold on to faith, he assures
It can't save us from ourselves
It's always in our might to choose

Like a shadow at our back
Judgement comes at last

And time will take us all
We are stained by mortality
The foundation of doom we leave behind
This is our destiny

We're not born to die, he said
Nor meant to last, she replied
Why are you afraid, he asks
I dream of the end of times
None of which is true, he claims
The horrors that I see in the night
We'll live to see another day
Right from the start it's been too late

Like a demon from within
Judgement closing in

And time will take us all
We are stained by mortality
The foundation of doom we leave behind
This is our destiny and our legacy
Take one last deep breath
'Cause our final sentence is death

Nothing will ever break the chain
We are merely puppets acting in a bigger play

Do you start to realize, she cries
Now I see, he concedes
Rivers pouring from her eyes
There is nothing left to believe
And our fate is sealed, my friend
Every deed takes its toll
Passing weakness till the end
Carrying flaws in our blood

Like an hourglass running dry
Judgement has arrived

And time will take us all
We are stained by mortality
The foundation of doom we leave behind
This is our fate
And time will take us all
We are stained by mortality
The foundation of doom we leave behind
This is our destiny and our legacy
Take one last deep breath
'Cause our final sentence is death
