Sands of Time (Sands of Time Act V)

Green fields now painted black, I can't go on and I can't go back Long lost days of the past Have to go over there, can I go over there at last? Love, Lust, things that I've lost Running from shadows but at what cost? Trace far, back to my life What was before the rain, what was it like before the strife In the eyes of my dream I can look deep And cherish the memory Meadows grow back embraced in my story... Home, friends, things that I miss Snow on the mountains and skies of bliss Strange tears guiding my way Could it be happiness? Could it be really here to stay? In the eyes of my agony memories are written in stone Finally I embrace them as my own Through fire and torches of pain I am the one who made it through the rain The echoes are songs in my ear I am the one who rose above the fear Through fire and torches in pain I am the one who made it through the rain Look up, the sky is now clear I am the one who fought so hard and made it here Slow, fast, scars that run deep Grasped like a treasure for us to keep Blood, sweat, just flesh and bone All of my choices were not in vain Now they're mine alone In the eyes of my agony... Through fire and torches of pain... And though the reaper awaits and the clock towers chime I see the fire put out by the sands of time
