Time: The Beginning

Father time, I'm running late

I'm winding down, I'm growing tired

Seconds drift into the night

The clock just ticks till my time expires

You were once my friend

Now I know I can't tie your hands

The days I saved I couldn't spend

They fell like sand through the hourglass

No time to lose, no time to choose

Time taking time, it's taken mine

Scenes of my life seem so unkind

Time chasing time creeps up behind

I can't run forever, and time waits for no one

Not even me

An enemy I can't defend

My final place a deadly end

Life is just a speck in space

Dreams of an eternal resting place

I can't get any younger

Time has brutal hunger

Time taking time, it's taken mine

Scenes of my life seem so unkind

Time chasing time creeps up behind

I can't run forever, and time waits for no one

Waits for no one

Not even me
