Shake off the devil Don't pay with your life A last embrace and I'll leave the strife I'm lookin' around me And don't like what I see There ain't nothing called in between Sand runs through the opaque hourglass The future is still untold Prepare the inner dream to be unfold Conjuring up images in mind I've been waiting for so long I've absorbed my life You cannot squeeze the life out of me Although nothing is as it should be The transience of all things around us Rushes through my fingers like grains of sand It came without warning I was chasing my dreams When I tripped over reality A shattering prospect Too frail to cross the line I recognized the sign o' the times Wind sounds roar through the hourglass Before the storm suddenly quells Remembering another broken shell I'll stand up and leave my fears behind Bleeding deep inside of me Make your dreams come true 'cos time flies You cannot squeeze the life out of me Although nothing is as it should be The transience of all things around us Rushes through my fingers like grains of sand This moment won't last forever It takes absence to value presence It seems that my hourglass is shaken and I get another chance You cannot squeeze the life out of me Although nothing is as it should be The transience of all things around us Rushes through my fingers like grains of sand
