Hourglass Lyrics

Ages fallen past me like grains of sand

In an hourglass untouchable to mortal hands

Faces come and go

Faces of heroes and friends

The only thing left letting me see through to the end

I thought that i had seen enough stars burn out

To know history would pass on to someone else

Try as we might, to make it out alive

Perhaps the end is better off denied

You're out of time

Seal away

The final days

In a vault of memories

Unprecedented suffering

Into the future, would you bring

Life, will you extend your reach

For the sake of legacy

Into the uncertainty

For another you will be

The hand of torment or mercy

A child condemned to the waste

Asked to salvage our poisoned wreckage

Either way there is no way out

Of this forsaken timeline

After all, it's our own fault

Laid waste to what they would inherit

We held on for so long

But it all slipped through our fingers

Without a doubt, there will be pain

In whatever scenario proceeds today

Limitations of our last sight will bring us to end

Progenitors beckoning this cycle's end

You're out of time

Seal away

The final days

In a vault of memories

Unprecedented suffering

Into the future, would you bring

Life, will you extend your reach

For the sake of legacy

Into uncertainty

For another you will be

The hand of torment or mercy
