The Hourglass

The Hourglass
 Falling with the hourglass
 Time will never stay behind
 As the throttles run to red
 Our motors rev one more time
 The timbre of her voice
 It signs my confession
 And through the words I am
 Absolved for my obsession
 In the light I can
 Almost see your face
 Through the heat I can
 Seek and find this place
 In our flesh and blood
 Through this skin and bone
 We are born again
 We are brought
 In the night I can
 Taste the steely chill
 Through the cold I can
 Learn to feel the thrill
 In our flesh and blood
 Through this skin and bone
 We are born again
 We are brought home
 Ruling by her every sigh
 She rewrites all our laws
 As her rifling spins my head
 I am martyred in her cause
 The fires in the forge
 Return me now in grace
 And through the flames I am
 Consumed in her embrace
 From beneath a hanging sword
 She lives to pulls its strings
 As the moorings tear or hold
 She plays master to her kings
 The shadow in her eyes
 Hides my imperfection
 And in the night I am
 Dissolved from all deception
