The Hourglass

I stare into the hourglass
On a dark midwinter day
Year by year the time slipped away
My thoughts turn back to distant times
And to faded memories
Back to mystic path in berry trees

On a bleak horizon a deeper kind of sin

Midwinter snow still falling
The lure of death keeps calling
I stare into the hourglass
Here in my darkest hour
My heart is so devoured
Mortality my time will come

There was time I waited at the edge of sanity
For you to come along and set me free
As time passed by day by day I waited all my life away
I saw my sanity led astray

Come find winter sky ever since you passed away

Midwinter snow still falling
The lure of death keeps calling
I stare into the hourglass
Here in my darkest hour
My heart is so devoured
Mortality my time will come

How waiting every hour lose to afterlife
How was your path through here that faded out of sight

Midwinter snow still falling
The lure of death keeps calling
I stare into the hourglass
Here in my darkest hour
My heart is so devoured
Mortality my time will come

Midwinter snow still falling
The lure of death keeps calling
I stare into the hourglass
Here in my darkest hour
My heart is so devoured
Mortality my time will come
