Lyrics The Sands of Time - The Wise Man's Fear

The Sands of Time

Ten years gone by feels frightful
Now I fear my best days are behind me
Wracked with regret and life’s restless pains
So you may wonder, when you grew so old
And so now you wonder, when you grew so old
And now you wander, in uncertain cold
But the days aren’t lasting long or as long they used to
What should I hold to, a thread?
And the nights stretch on forever, an oracle at the center
And oh, we fall behind in the sands of time
Twenty years gone by feels fleeting
Made of the smoke and the bile
Of a thousand hopes since past
Now I fear my best days are behind me
And I lose sleep counting the stars
Now I wish upon them all
Yet one by one they fall
We beg for forgiveness
Yet inherit madness
We beg for forgiveness
Yet inherit madness
But the days aren’t lasting long or as long they used to
What should I hold to, a thread?
And the nights stretch on forever, an oracle at the center
And oh, we fall behind in the sands of time
But the days aren’t lasting long or as long they used to
What should I hold to, a thread?
And the nights stretch on forever, an oracle at the center
And oh, we fall behind in the sands of time
