The Future Hides Its Face

The ageless face of time
Smiles carefree and is gone
And in its wake leaves nothing
Save future yet to come

Now man has grown so tall
And earth has grown so small
He reaches for (unknown)
He knows it will be his

The future hides its face

And eternity will become so small
That man will hold it in the palm of his hand
And he will control it
And he himself will be eternity
No beginning, no end
No beginning, no end

The ageless face of man
Will quickly smile and leave
For he'll be damned himself man
The future will be sand
