Sands Of Time

[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]

Seasons come and seasons go
Here I wait for something to be
Try to get as much as I can see
Hungry for life
But Have you see the sands of time
Every day is a moment in past
Every heartbeat a step to my last
I won't survive

I don't know what time is made to be
If it is a friend or enemy or does it only run
Run to set and end
Secrets of a crazy dream or just a bad
Reality, I don't know

Do you feel the sands of time
Runnin' low to break the line
First we learn to fly, then we learn to cry
Later in the evening we will die

Questions roamin' through my brain
I'll be leavin' into a grave
I'll be dead but my soul will be save
For a time called forever

All the seasons will have been gone
There'll be times that you will forget
My name and the words that I said
Then my time will be over
