The Hourglass Falling with the hourglass Time will never stay behind As the throttles run to red Our motors rev one more time The timbre of her voice It signs my confession And through the words I am Absolved for my obsession In the light I can Almost see your face Through the heat I can Seek and find this place In our flesh and blood Through this skin and bone We are born again We are brought In the night I can Taste the steely chill Through the cold I can Learn to feel the thrill In our flesh and blood Through this skin and bone We are born again We are brought home Ruling by her every sigh She rewrites all our laws As her rifling spins my head I am martyred in her cause The fires in the forge Return me now in grace And through the flames I am Consumed in her embrace From beneath a hanging sword She lives to pulls its strings As the moorings tear or hold She plays master to her kings The shadow in her eyes Hides my imperfection And in the night I am Dissolved from all deception
