All these days that lay before me

All these days that lay behind

Does time just go on forever

Whose decision

Whose design



Death life

Wrong right

Pray will you tell me

Who decides



Dark night

Days light

Pray will you tell me

Who divides



Every year contains its seasons

Summer, winter, spring and fall

Some pass faster than the others

Some forgotten some recalled



Long short

Owned bought

Gathering trinkets

From times tides



Rich thoughts

Lost sought

Still the clock turns

And can't be bribed



I know

I see

I hear

Do you understand



The cost

In years

In tears

The weight of the damned



That build

To lakes

Then wake

And flood cross the land



We watch

The waves

Carve out

Their pre-ordained plans



Each life

Each grave

And then

Fill each one with sand



Listen what I say

Time does not betray

Every moment cast

Guaranteed to pass



Every moment close

Soon to turn to ghost

Some to disappear

Others shadows clear



Shadows without light

Soon become just night

Leaving in our mind

What is left behind



Do you hear what I say

Every life's numbered days

Joined with hourglass sand

Feel it run through your hands



Still then no one knows now

The true why when and how

And when time's out of sand

Will they know who I...
