[Verse 1]

Embrace a razor of ideals

Caught on broken crosses, broken wheels

Clock hands that turn like scything blades

Cut down our hopes and our days

[Chorus]

Time's sands are falling to the floor

We follow them down into the earth once more

[Verse 2]

Love like a garland sickly sweet

How soon it fades, how soon it cheats

On all our hearts the worms will feast

For where comes love comes deceit

[Chorus]

Time's sands are falling to the floor

We follow them down into the earth once more
