The Hourglass Lyrics by Darkest Horizon

The Grand Continuum

2014

Nothing will ever be the same
There's a dark corruption spreading
Deep inside our vains
"Downward is the only way" she said
"Lets aim for the skies" he replied
"The maelstrom takes us all" she said
"We stay strong and survive"
"Nothing we can do" she said
"Hold on to faith" he assures
"It can't save us from ourselves"
"It's always in our might to choose"
Like a shadow at our back
Judgement comes at last
And time will take us all
We are stained by mortality
The foundation of doom we leave behind
This is our destiny
"We're not born to die" he said
"Nor meant to last" she replied
"Why are you afraid" he asks
"I dream of the end of times"
"None of which is true" he claims
"The horrors that I see in the night"
"We'll live to see another day"
Right from the start it's been too late
Like a demon from within
Judgement closing in
And time will take us all
We are stained by mortality
The foundation of doom we leave behind
This is our destiny and our legacy
Take one last deep breath
'Cause our final sentence is death
Nothing will ever break the chain
We are merely puppets acting In a bigger play
"Do you start to realize" she cries
"Now I see" he concedes
Rivers pouring from her eyes
There is nothing left to believe
And our fate is sealed, my friend
Every deed takes its toll
Passing weakness till the end
Carrying flaws in our blood
Like an hourglass running dry
Judgement has arrived
And time will take us all
We are stained by mortality
The foundation of doom we leave behind
This is our fate
And time will take us all
We are stained by mortality
The foundation of doom we leave behind
This is our destiny and our legacy
Take one last deep breath
'Cause our final sentence is death
