Chuck Billy - Blood in the Sands of Time lyrics

[Verse 1: Ben Duerr] Blood in the sands of time The ageless clock is counting down The purveyors and crusaders bygone live on renowned Some dare aspire to join the ranks of the gods The certainty of your safety now drains with every hour [Bridge: Ben Duerr] Only the dead have seen the end of war All sons of the many gods The race of men, begotten end [Verse 2: Ben Duerr] Empires fall, years have progressed and are forsaken The meek are cast down, the strongest garnering the gains Sounds of war echo on in solemn spirit The blind, the sick, the old, the young, even the demons hear it And as time passes on, these situations Remain a constant in the name of indemnification The oozing black heart below the surface is calling outward And those who dare listen shall be relentlessly pulled under Worldwide crisis, divinity rehashed The world you see that surrounds you was built from murder The cycle of death continues and we push it further [Verse 3: Ben Duerr] Always mobilized Eager to pulverize Corrupt, destabilize Autonomy strung up high The whole are dead to rights Nothing shall ever suffice The age is prophesized The suicide of our kind [Bridge: Chuck Billy] Rejecting signs as the grand clock unwinds Oil pipelines pour spilled blood in the sands of time We walk the earth and still the ground, it trembles Transcending elements, from death we cannot hide [Breakdown: Ben Duerr] Suicide of humankind Suicide of humankind Kiss of death claiming lives To persevere is no option, reset, rewind [Guitar Solo] [Bridge: Ben Duerr] Suicide of humankind Eden is falling apart Sounds of war echo on The sounds of war echo on [Outro: Ben Duerr] The sheer will of mankind can only hold on for so long Acting as though the last grain has faltered
