lyrics

Drifting on the edge of reality, my consciousness awakes.
Shifting sands fall carelessly, marching time forward.
Sifting unheard, as every grain’s wake shakes the plane again.

The universal hourglass. In the cosmic collective consciousness.

Watching as the sands of time, drift idly by. Slowly rushing through the gaps in my mind.
I was not prepared for this timelessness. So quickly after feeling deaths caress, but,

We all return to dirt. We can't cheat the hourglass.
See eternity, and watch it pass so fleetingly. In the end.

I see flames engulfing the face of our scorched planet.
Visions of our self-destruction, remind me that I’m stuck here:

Watching as the sands of time, drift idly by. Slowly rushing through the gaps in my mind.
I was not prepared for this timelessness. So quickly after feeling deaths caress, but I'm,

Folded into the fourth dimension. I was granted my ascension, but I am molded by my worldly connections.
Maybe I could, stop it if I should, return! If I can crack the glass, then I could get back at last, and return to my life.

I can return to earth if I can break the hourglass. Free of eternity. I hope that they believe that I,

Watched as the sands of time drifted idly by. Slowly filling up the gaps in my mind.
Armed with the memories of clarity, we can avoid this calamity!

Using the sand as my guide, I will slide, back into my original time!
Leaving behind my purgatorial hell and repossessing my mortal shell.

With the sand as my guide, I will slide, back into my original time.
Leave behind this purgatorial hell and repossessing my mortal shell.
