80 Grains of Sand Lyrics


O death in thee I have found

& Found in thee alone

The silent bane of emptiness

This sorrow ‘till now unknown.

In the name of God, Allah, Odin

And devils one and all,

I call upon their faceless forms

To resurrect my soul.

In death I face my deepest fear

Alone I waste away,

No God will come this dying day

To take me from my grave.

To disappear without a trace

Like ashes in the rain,

All I am and ever was

Is 80 grains of sand

All I am and ever was

Is 80 grains of sand

All I am and ever was

Is 80 grains of sand.

A life is but one second of forever

& Death an endless path that leads to the lamenting edge

At the well of sorrow.

Tears flow like an eternal rain that dwell in a place

where no sun can reach.

& Here 80 grains of sand rests amongst a desert.
