A golden sunset Prelude to the star cloaked sky Yet this beauty only serves to remind me Of the passage of time
We are but grains of sand in an hourglass And we're falling fast So take haste Don't delay For the wheels of time's eternal flow They halt unfaltering progress for no one
Another day and another step Another hour that we're closer to death And what we have we waste away Unfeeling cold decay And what we have we waste away Naive to mortal fate
We are but grains of sand in an hourglass And we're falling fast So take haste Don't delay For the wheels of time's eternal flow They halt unfaltering progress for no one
Fear not your death For the hour of your doom is set And there is no escape Invoke your inner flame Ensure that none forget your name Time slips away
Mourn not the dead In their tales they live again Save your tears for the living Who never truly live
This is your life, so rise up and live
We are but grains of sand in an hourglass And we're falling fast So take haste Don't delay Your time, it slips away
