Moments last to our closing eyes

No one gets out alive

The ring of truth bears no weight

Of prophesy none too late



The glassy eye of measured time

A witness to our mortal lies

On we stride our love behind

Too blind to see the other side



Chorus:

Destroy

The hourglass

Unchain the sands of time



Fly on ...

Return our chance for life



Pouring sand ... Drowning souls

Rising ... Falling ... Beyond control



Tears of hope now lost to me

Cast upon the ancient sea

Forever trapped behind the glass

Tomorrow now becomes the past
