The Sands of Time Lyrics


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 tole

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 silhuet laughs

My body faulters 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
