Lyrics Hands of Time - Shelter

Hands of Time

All of our heroes, they were forces to go
The wealth, strength, and glamour they were made of
Where is it now?
Profit, position, prestige, and name all that was valued
But was it again?
Seems I best refrain from all that nonsense that won’t remain
Seems like a crime, hands of time
Seems like a crime
All the kings and all the things they thought they possessed
As time ticks they soon realize, nothing could be kept
Even beauty of the body
Not to mention the strength of the strong
We were wrong, it’s gone, so tell me to whom did it belong?
Seems like a crime, hands of time
Seems like a crime
This world’s a mirage that we embrace with our love and energy
Collecting and protecting all that we see
It’s a suckers bet, we get upset
Filled with these and heartaches and regrets
The best investment I see: Something to hold on to permanently
