Sands of Time

Watch the sea turn red Sail away my friend Catching all my past no one meant to last Turn your heads away from me It's what you cannot see Listen to the wind - Calling you again And though you hear my cry, I'm not afraid to die Look into the rain - Shattered without the pain On the sands along the bay Is the place where I must stay Counting all that's gone - Watching all alone Cities up in flames - Am I the one to blame Don't you criticize Till you've seen it through my eyes Like the hourglass - Each day a grain has passed And all I want to know is why they go so slow Spirits in my mind reflect the years gone by Clouds inside my head - They warn me on the edge My heart is held in ice - My fate a roll of dice With the tears that scar my face It's a never ending race The sands of time - Falling eternally In my mind - Endlessly calling me If only I had known each day I'd walk alone Shouting at the sky - Never a reply On the sands along the bay It's the place where I must stay Counting all that's gone - Watching all alone
