Sands of Fate [April 4, 2015]

Sands of time fall

In the glass, one by one

Each grain so small

Under the setting sun, it has begun

 

Even though it just begun

The end lingers near

When the glass is empty and done

All your worst fears will be here

 

Your fate will soon be realized

As the sands fall to bottom

As you lose your disguise

You too will have fallen

 

You have fallen, into a pit of fear

Never again to see the light

Dark and shrouded, so unclear

You get ready for a fight

 

Your opponent mysterious

Eyes blood red, cold

Eerie and fearless

They look deep with your soul

 

They know who you are

They pass judgment on your sins

You can’t hide from them

They look at you, and grin

 

Charging forward, they lash out

Striking away your ignorance

They hack away at your doubts

And find reason for your existence

 

Stripping away your sins, you are naked

And as the final grain falls, the world can see

Time could not be forsaken

For now you have been set free

 

You are free at last, in a cruel world of hate

Time never stands still, never wait

In this place, you are always late

Too long, too much time you waste

Here you stand, in the sands of fate
