Life's too long to live, but too short to die
When everything I say, takes a piece inside
All the world's awake, but I have closed my eyes
I wish it all away, but nothing's right
In the sands of time...
The sands of time...
It's all lost in the sands of time
(The sands of time)
The sands of time
Tears run down my cheek, as I look away
This is all I've known, my guilt and my dismay
I don't have the strength, I don't know what to say
Here is where I stand, alone and afraid
In the sands of time...
The sands of time...
It's all lost in the sands of time
(The sands of time)
The sands of time
The sands of times run out, and I'm the one to lose
I heard them talk about, the heart-breaking news
I don't know where to go, I don't know what to do
Now that God took away, what I had in you
In the sands of time...
The sands of time...
It's all lost in the sands of time
(The sands of time)
The sands of time
I sold you my soul, I gave you my life
Who wants death, when living's half the price
An ironic phrase, echoed in my mind
Until it's all lost, in the sands of time
