The Sinking Sun

The years come and gone in the blink of an eye
 And slowly I drift away into the darkness
 The depths of my own mind
 Where sorrow and hope collide
 The waves come and go
 Much faster now than before
 Can I brave the tide?
 To watch life from the other side
 ♪
 And we sang when we were young
 One day
 Death
 Will find
 And I will return to dust
 Me
 One day
 Death
 Will find
 Only then will I accept death
 The years come and gone in the blink of an eye
 Mechanisms in my mind
 Cannot stop counting the time
 I feel it slipping from me
 We are all fragile vessels
 Marching toward the end
 Where the years become silhouettes
 I feel it slipping from me
 What would I leave the world
 If I were to die today?
 The sun begins to sink now
 My light is fading out
 All of this life was a test
 And I, I do not want to be
 Something less than this flesh
 I don't want to be
 Something less
 I'd been working endlessly
 Building a sanctuary
 When I saw I was lost in a hell
 That I had created
 And there, I was God
 With the worms in the mud
 I was God
 I was
 All of my madness
 Eating away at me
 A warped reality of my own making
 Now I'm exhausted
 A crumbling heart where no light shows
 The earth swallows me
 I beg for my last breath
 I beg for any sense of hope
 To begin again
 To find the meaning
 Buried within our flesh
 Begin again
 To find the meaning
 Buried within our flesh
 Begin again in our flesh
 Flesh
 Begin again
 ♪
 Slowly, I drift into the depths of infinite darkness
 Waves collide faster now than they ever had
 Before counting time
 As it slowly runs backward
 Against the current of this life
 I see all the knowledge
 I see what I had been searching for
 ♪
 And time will take us
 Time will take us all
 ♪
 It seems to come to me now
 So clearly in this fading light
 The answer to all things both begins
 And ends within the I
 I've been so concerned with what I do not know
 I could not see this life before me
 Was all I ever hoped
 ♪
 All I ever hoped
 The sun
 I feel the sun begin to fade
 As I drift into the darkness
 And in the distance
 I see familiar faces show
 And in the background of my thoughts
 I can hear that same voice whisper
 To count the hours, you're only chasing time
 Now
 Whisper
 So, count the hours
 You're only chasing time now
 Time
 Time
 Time
 Time
 Will
 Take
 Us
 All
 Time
 Will
 Take
 Us
 All
