Time of Twilight

Waiting for the sunrise, struggling on our way

Nothing here remains, lone sands stretch far away

Centuries pass by, cultures are forgotten

Monuments decay, leaving nations rotten

Time is short, don't you know, we carry on with this life

Like it was through the years, all the way back in time

I met a traveller from an antique land

He saw the writings in the desert sand

A shattered face lies there besides two legs of stone

Waiting for the sunrise, struggling on our way

Nothing here remains, lone sands stretch far away

Centuries pass by, cultures are forgotten

Monuments decay, leaving nations rotten

Time is short, don't you know, we carry on with this life

Like it was through the years, all the way back in time

I met a traveller from an antique land

He saw the writings in the desert sand

A shattered face lies there besides two legs of stone

The glimpse of a lost world was shown

All is crashing down and grinded into dust

Empires burn in flames as we all combust

When centuries pass by our heritage is lost

Falls apart one day and starts to rust

Time is short, don't you know, we carry on with this life

Like it was through the years, all the way back in time

See things I've never seen

And things I've never known

They keep living on

When years have long gone by

What memory remains?

Nothing lasts for good

Precious are our years, yet transient like a glass

No matter what we do to make our relicts last

A cold and silent stone will carry our names

But our grave won't tell something

About what we became

Time is short, don't you know, we carry on with this life

Like it was through the years, all the way back in time
