THE HOUR GROWS LATE - HOURGLASS

Описание: THE HOUR GROWS LATE - VOIDS AND VISIONS

I’m in the midst
Of the disappearance of time
It keeps running away
To a place that I can’t find

I can’t seem to create it
But oh how I need it
Simply couldn’t say when it slipped away
But I know that time escaped

Can’t let time escape

As I watch the hour grow late
With the clock I will debate
The clock and I debate
As I watch the hour grow late

Take what’s left of me
Steal all my energy
Break what’s left of me
Drain all my energy

I don’t want to be
Just another common casualty
Like those who’ve gone before me
That lost their sense of urgency
I can’t stand to lose
Another minute carelessly
Like those who’ve quit before me
That fell into complacency

Give me back time
To make everything right
Grant me the chance
To find the best use of my life

Watch me find my pace
Since my steps I can’t retrace
If time must tick away
I can’t chase wasted days

No more wasted days

As I watch the hour grow late
Father Time and I debate
Father Time and I debate
As I watch the hour grow late

Take what’s left of me
Steal all my energy
Break what’s left of me
Drain all my energy

I don’t want to be
Just another common casualty
Like those who’ve gone before me
That lost their sense of urgency
I can’t stand to lose
Another minute carelessly
Like those who’ve quit before me
That fell into complacency

Time is the enemy
Never been a father to me
We don’t seem able to agree
Always been a bit faster than me

His hands allow him to fly away
Don’t feel him passing
Until you’re old and grey

Treats every creature
As if they’re prey
No amount of begging
Will make him sway

Time is the enemy
Never been a father to me
We don’t seem able to agree
Always been a lot colder than me

Time, once upon me
Has brought me down to bended knee
Years, passing by me
Have taught me how to live and be

It’s clear there’s something more
Than the tired routine
Something meaningful
In the time between

I’m riding the hands
As they spin around
A destination in my sight
A purpose before the endless night

I don’t want to be
Just another common casualty
Like those who’ve gone before me
That lost their sense of urgency
I can’t stand to lose
Another minute carelessly
Like those who’ve quit before me
That fell into complacency
