Hands of Time - Shelter

All of our heroes, they were forces to go

The wealth, strength, and glamour they were made of

Where is it now?

Profit, position, prestige, and name all that was valued

But was it again?

Seems I best refrain from all that nonsense that won’t remain

Seems like a crime, hands of time

Seems like a crime

All the kings and all the things they thought they possessed

As time ticks they soon realize, nothing could be kept

Even beauty of the body

Not to mention the strength of the strong

We were wrong, it’s gone, so tell me to whom did it belong?

Seems like a crime, hands of time

Seems like a crime

This world’s a mirage that we embrace with our love and energy

Collecting and protecting all that we see

It’s a suckers bet, we get upset

Filled with these and heartaches and regrets

The best investment I see: Something to hold on to permanently
