Ten years gone by feels frightful Now I fear my best days are behind me Wracked with regret and life's restless pains So you may wonder, when you grew so old And so now you wonder, when you grew so old And now you wander, in uncertain cold But the days aren't lasting long or as long as they used to What should I hold to, a thread? And the nights stretch on forever, an oracle at the center And oh, we fall behind in the sands of time Twenty years gone by feels fleeting Made of the smoke and the bile Of a thousand hopes since past Now I fear my best days are behind me And I lose sleep counting the stars And I wish upon them all Yet one by one they fall We beg for forgiveness And inherit madness We beg for forgiveness Yet inherit madness But the days aren't lasting long or as long as they used to What should I hold to, a thread? And the nights stretch on forever, an oracle at the center And oh, we fall behind in the sands of time But the days aren't lasting long or as long as they used to What should I hold to, a thread? And the nights stretch on forever, an oracle at the center And oh, we fall behind in the sands of time
