Withering time, so elusive   So shapeless   Graceful coil, crumbling glory   It will revive   Exalt the endless chain   Exalt the withering times      Time decides what lives or dies   Time can crawl and time can fly   It can wither and erase   It can make a new beginning      There is nothing time can't beat   There is nothing time will need   To destroy and bloom again   A vicious circle older than the earth      Decay, destroy to reform again   Withering time      Withering time, so elusive   So shapeless   Graceful coil, crumbling glory   It will revive   Exalt the endless chain   Exalt the withering times      Broken windows, blistering paint   Lashing winds, hot suns and rain   Wood has splintered, walls are cracked   The elements are just as vicious      All what men have made won't last   In the future as in the past   But our memories are strong   And will outlive all circles of time      Time: transcend beyond all life, transcend beyond      On! Until the end of time, on and on!   Live! Before we waste our time, before we run out      Broken, blistering, lashing, splintering, cracking, crawling, flying, withering time      Withering time, so elusive   So shapeless   Graceful coil, crumbling glory   It will revive   Withering time, so elusive   So shapeless   Graceful coil, crumbling glory   It will revive   Exalt the endless chain   Exalt the withering times
