Hourglass

Timeless bond
Heart's secret bind
Passage filled with fears
I linger in empty rooms
Life moves on
Time has etched marks on my face
While I yearn one final dance

I've been counting stars in the night
But still, the sands of time slip through my hands
Dreams of the past
In twilight's embrace
Vessel of memories
Sailing the sea, in the mist

Hold back time
Stay by my side
Don't let me die
Enjoy the time
In the cracked walls
In each weathered stride
I quietly stay
Where time softly moans

Dreams of the past
In twilight's embrace
Growing dim

I've been counting stars in the night
But still, the sands of time slip through my hands
Dreams of the past
In twilight's embrace
Vessel of memories
Sailing the sea
In the mist
The mist

I don't want to embrace the final call
I stay fearful of the dark

Dreams of the past
In twilight's embrace
Vessel of memories
In me

I don't want to die
Fearful of the dark
Dreams of the past
In twilight's embrace
Vessel of memories
Sailing the sea in the mist
The mist
