[Chorus]

Watch the hourglass drain itself, watch the smiles grow forced.

In retrospect, nothing turned out the way I thought; all is lost.



I guess I'm overly philosophical, but that's just my cross.

'cause every time I stop to watch the present I see the corpse, decayed, of what once was.

Time's our guide on the path of life, and it's leading us astray as the blood turns cold.



[Chorus:] all love lost



We all feed on expectation and dreams; damn whoever gets in the way.

The loved one today might be the scapegoat to be;

Fuck or get fucked-it's always been that way.



[Chorus:] all is lost



Sweet promises whispered by lovers at night, given with passion before.

Say them again, look into my eyes and tell me- who's the whore?



The deceiver will think himself deceived

Forming a truth of his own, as they always do.

It's only a matter of what you want to believe,

But in the end we've got nothing-Everything's lost.

Time's our guide on the path of life, and it's leading us astray

as the blood turns cold. Everything's lost...
