In the hourglass

When darkness falls and another world calls
I stand alone here in my cell
This new life tastes so bittersweet
An ironic twist in my private hell

(Counting) Counting the sands of time (time)
(Counting) Counting the sands of time (time)

These are my dreams and my voiceless cries
Cross the landscapes of my mind
Forgotten images another time
Another place for me to hide

(Counting) Counting the sands of time (time)
(Counting) Counting the sands of time (time)
(Counting) Counting the sands of time (time)
(Counting) Counting the sands of time (time)

The night's my servant leading me to light
To places far beyond reality
The first sunlight covers my veiled eyes
The shadows dance their morning dance
My enemy awakes again
Sisyphus slept next to me
Counting seconds - them becoming years
Sisyphus slept next to me

(Counting) Counting the sands of time (time)
(Counting) Counting the sands of time (time)
