I reach for your hourglass
I try to turn it on its back
But you've held it tightly in your grasp
From the cradle to the grave
I forgave you for your acts
Before your flag lowered half mast
And you exclaim, "I'm free at last"
And they find an empty cave
I watch as the hands of time take hold of you
They'll grip you tightly until your limbs go numb
They'll squeeze until you have nothing else left to lose
And they'll drag you back to the place where you started from
I'm doing all I can
I drew a line down in the sand
I'll follow his commands
To lift the curse, repair the land
I'll execute his plan
I'll drive the nails into my hands
To heal the family brand
I'm the lion and the lamb
It takes the death of a salesman
To spark the birth of a talisman
I'm thinking back at the time that I spent
Begging you to repent
For your sins
And when I came to the altar
I learned that time had a father
He told me I need to follow the lines
To untangle the twine
Of your kin
ย
I swing my sword to your hourglass
I hit its core, it did not crack
I took it to the midnight mass
Prayed the lord would sharpen the blade
Me and the Lord, we made a pact
To seal my fate, a spell was cast
My vision blurs and fades to black
I'd awaken after the plague
I wake on the golden fields of Babylon
Clothed in a robe dipped in blood red as the south
And by my side is the great white horse I'll travel on
I spread my arms and a sword emerges from my mouth
I ride in on my horse
To strike the nations with a sword
In justice I wage war
To kill the beast and burn the whore
I'll weep and I will mourn
As I watch my city burn
In flames a world reborn
The father has returned
It takes the death of a salesman
To spark the birth of a talisman
I'm thinking back at the time that I spent
Begging you to repent for your sins
And when I came to the altar
I learned that time had a father
He told me I need to follow the lines
To untangle the twine
Of your kin
ย
Oh, father time
I've changed my mind
I've tied my deeds
With holy twine
Please use your scythe
To cut the lines
Speak to me in myth
I will search for your signs
I'm a hedonist
Entrenched in guilt
And every calendar day
Will be a square on the quilt
I'll arrest the decay
I'll emerge from the filth
I will set it ablaze
With the flames of my will
ย
When the fire does go out
I'll blame myself
I'll walk out proud
ย
