The Hourglass Still Lyrics


What upon an astral shore

In might and grace can be reborn

Above the northern clouds

And where fates are carved upon fading stars

Spread your light upon this path

Hide the sun and I will come

Send your dashing winds to carry me onwards

You awakened me once and I pledged my blood

Ι have pledged my soul

And I have sworn an Oath forevermore

I have been once torn apart

Wounded, crawling, bleeding

With the warmth of death in my skin

And the dance of ravens accompanying

I have been offered the sweet wine of oblivion

And a honorable pact for my name

Don't forget that time I refused them all

Up atop the Twilight's dome

That some call the Ageless watch

Once I saw the signs and planned my maps towards the skies

And I traveled above these fields to reborn with your serpent kiss

And I have sworn to hold the hourglass filled forevermore

I have been born twice

Once in pain and once in delight

Once to fade to ashes and once above the mundane vaults to rise

But our path aligned and my blood was spilled an eternal sacrifice

To dance the Spiral Dance and shut the starlit skies

Now that my fate is recarved on glowing sands

I keep moving them within the ancient glass

And I will remember...

That with your Fires I have once been healed

That I have been drowned in your burning elixir

Upon a crumbling world I hold the hourglass still forevermore

So, spread your light upon this path

Hide the sun for me to come

Send your dashing winds to carry me onwards

You awakened me once and I pledged my blood

I have pledged my soul and I have sworn the Oath

To hold the hourglass still forevermore
