Select language to translate this lyric
A golden sunset
Prelude to the star cloaked sky
Yet this beauty only serves to remind me
Of the passage of time
We are but grains of sand in an hourglass
And we're falling fast
So take haste
Don't delay
For the wheels of time's eternal flow
They halt unfaltering progress for no one
Another day and another step
Another hour that we're closer to death
And what we have we waste away
Unfeeling cold decay
And what we have we waste away
Naive to mortal fate
We are but grains of sand in an hourglass
And we're falling fast
So take haste
Don't delay
For the wheels of time's eternal flow
They halt unfaltering progress for no one
Fear not your death
For the hour of your doom is set
And there is no escape
Invoke your inner flame
Ensure that none forget your name
Time slips away
Mourn not the dead
In their tales they live again
Save your tears for the living
Who never truly live
This is your life, so rise up and live
We are but grains of sand in an hourglass
And we're falling fast
So take haste
Don't delay
Your time, it slips away
