[Lyric] Hourglass (Lands of a Western Sunrise)

It all begins with several subtle steps
And I’ve done something wrong
It works so far to my intent
But something tells me not for long
Tap into the will of the world and suddenly
I know the worst of this

Hourglass gives time, make your plan
Take this nail, rake it across my hand
The sand, gets beneath your fingernails
When you dig beneath mine

And now I’m lying on the floor, half torn
Like leaves at winter’s door
I made it broken from the start, three parts
All glued in with some tar
I wished that it would stop when you discovеred me

What you make, it won’t last
An hour in this placе
Your mistakes mark the change
Of lives it will erase
Hourglass gives time, make your plan
Take this nail, rake it across my hand
The sand, gets beneath your fingernails
When you dig beneath mine
The present is a gate we lock to doubt ourselves
The time you need is now
Don’t hesitate

It’s tearing at my skull
And wearing down my mind
Forced to watch it as it trickles to the end

Hourglass gives time, you made your plan
Take this nail, rake it across my eyes instead
I don’t care to bear witness to my own demise
Bury all the remnants of what’s left behind
You seem self-sufficient on your own
Just follow my advice
