Pouring like sand through the hour glass - falling through our hands The mercurial passage of precious time - now, and forever gone Cold thoughts bearing vilest conclusions That one has drawn from their bitter delusions No fountains of youth to wash away the tears - or erase the pain, perpetually racing as we rage against the grain Yesterday has long since gone - and it seems that tomorrow never comes Time: That devours all things - Ravenous fire, all consuming Eternal flame, ever present - burns hotter and higher It steals away one's lust for life - First casualty of the routine skeleton upon which history hangs - now meat falls from the bones the years fall like leaves - from our disenchanted lives Let it come as no surprise - let them be gone! evolution is universal - the eternal role reversal desperately we search for meaning - still no closer to peace within No stone unturned in our quest for answers - Just a reason to live
