The Sands of Time

We are all caught in the sands of time
No one can ever escape
Whatever we do the end is the same
We die we are turned back to dust!
As soon as we're born we start to die
Such is the nature of time
They say it heals wounds I see it brings death
Bringer of famine and war

In the dunes we're drowning
From the sands we can't escape
In the dunes we're drowning
No use trying to catch a breath

Soon we grow old our hair fades to gray
Skin so worn out and pale
The cracks on the face increase every day
As we're approaching life's end
Isn't it strange no man can change fate
And how we all end the same
We care too much for riches and fame
The desert takes its toll

The sands of time
We can't escape them
The sands of time
Who is your master

In the dunes we're drowning
From the sands we can't escape
In the dunes we're drowning
No use trying to catch a breath

I can not breathe my mouth full of sand
Chronos awaiting my soul
My face scarred and old, my hands trembling, pale
Trying to clutch to this life
I'm on my knees, pray for more time
As the dark silhouette laughs
My body falters I take my last breath
Cadaver devoured by sand

The sands of time
We can't escape them
The sands of time
No one can master
