Times tide will smother you

I hear the tolling of the bell

Black winds begin to howl

Pulling away from now

Fragile are the sands of time

They form and fade, like yours and mine

Seconds turn to minutes

Minutes turn to hours

Hours fade into days

Days become lifetimes.

I feel nothing

As time passes by

As I live and breathe

Hours flow through me

Like nails into my palms.

Here is a new world.

A world without I

Time will never heal

It Will never change

Crucified myself

For nothing at all

There’s blood in the hourglass

As I’m hung from my cross.

It is my own doing

my own undoing

So crucified.... yet I still dream

Time will have the final word.

AS AFTER

SO BEFORE
