Shifting Sands -

Shifting sands of time flow through the hourglass

Carrying with it memories of a distant past

There’s nothing that can stop the endless motion

There’s nothing that can ever be undone

Looking in the mirror

It’s reflection stares into my soul

As I’m growing old

Shifting sands of time flow through the hourglass

Carrying away things I can forget at last

Deep underneath what accumulates

Innocence is drowning away

No more a child, I realize and see

That life itself is not what it seems

Reflection in the mirror

Burns a hole into my soul

As death is drawing closer

The moment of birth is the start of the journey to death

Isn’t it ironic in the end?

To answer the question that burns inside your head

The price to pay is the ultimate fare

Do we only have one shot at this?

If that’s the case, what have you missed?

When the time comes, will you be proud of what you’ve done?

Can we break through the mirror?

Grab the hourglass and turn it upside down

Get another chance at life

And make the sands shift again

Could it be that all there is is just this reality?

And that time itself is only a fantasy?

The people that are gone where are they now?

Could they still be around out there somehow?

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Is there nothing more that we can trust

And if god is real, what’s he waiting for?

When I break through the mirror

Will you recognize my face once more?

When the hourglass is upside down

And the sands shift again
