In this ever changing world, In these times, These days of challenge, As my systems begin to fail, I hear voices, Beyond the veil ... Love decays Under our dying star, Strange how time delays The knowing who we are ... As the years slip through my hand, My life Runs out Like Sand ... I will play a poison lullaby,
In fields of gravity, Under a falling sky ... As the day Slow-fades away, Warning shadows Crawl across my walls of grey ... Sweetness drips From the exquisite corpse, Sleeping sickness Grips at every ghost who walks. As the years slip through my hand, My Life Runs Out Like Sand.
