As time slips through my finger tips   Like grains of sand in Caesars hands   I can hear the time bomb as it ticks and it ticks   Not long to go now, no more will we stand   Invincible, sure and superior   We are fallible weak and inferior   As we slip and we slide down the long mountainside   We’re the debris of a lost human tide      There's a feeling I can feel   As the clockwork clicks around   There's a shadow after me   And it waits without a sound   I'm so tired of standing by   While the fates design my life   They never tell me why   The world must die!      Surely there is someone to reach out   Surely there is someone to reach out      As time slips through my fingers   There's a void where the hope used to be   As time flows through my fingers   We see visions that no one should see   And it's cold   So cold out here   And it's cold   When there's so much to fear      As time slips through my fingers   I am blinded and alone   As time flows through my fingers   I am haunted by demons I have always known   And it's cold   So cold out here   And it's cold   When there's so much to fear… so near!
