Stand

Frozen

Dread instilled

In the motionless void, the hands of time are still

Stare

Breathless

Draped in guilt

In the realm which is gray, the quiet starts to kill

Colorless and frail, with every minute that is sure to pass

The pillars of hope, now adorn the earth

Slowly we inhale, to realize there’s no one there

You are a ghost, no one’s coming for you

No one’s coming for you

The hands of time commence

Whether you’re ready makes no difference

Don’t blame the hand that deals

As you begin to kneel

The hands of time spare none

Heartlessly ticking on and on

Dismantling your bliss

Your prayers have been dismissed

Breath

Slowing

Lungs don’t fill

In the motionless void, the hands of time are still

Frost

Scatters

Callous chill

On the coldest of stones, my blood begins to spill

Colorless and frail, with every minute that is sure to pass

The pillars of hope, now adorn the earth

Slowly we inhale, to realize there’s no one there

You are a ghost, no one’s coming for you

In the motionless void, the hands of time are still

Grinding

Crushing

All I’ve built

As the pillars collapse, my destiny’s fulfilled
