Crumbling Pillars of a Tranquil Mind Songtext
von Fires in the Distance

Stand
Frozen
Dread instilled
In the motionless void
The hands of time are still

Stare
Breathless
Draped in guilt
In the realm which is gray
The quiet starts to kill

Colorless and frail
With every minute that is sure to pass
The pillars of hope
Now adorn the earth
Slowly we inhale
To realize there′s no one there
You are a ghost
No one's coming for you

No one′s coming for you


The hands of time commence
Whether you're ready makes no difference
Don't blame the hand that deals
As you begin to kneel

The hands of time spare none
Heartlessly ticking on and on
Dismantling your bliss
Your prayers have been dismissed

Breath
Slowing
Lungs don′t fill
In the motionless void
The hands of time are still

Frost
Scatters
Callous chill
On the coldest of stones
My blood begins to spill


Colorless and frail
With every minute that is sure to pass
The pillars of hope
Now adorn the earth
Slowly we inhale
To realize there′s no one there
You are a ghost
No one's coming for you

In the motionless void
The hands of time are still

Grinding
Crushing
All I′ve built
As the pillars collapse
My destiny's fulfilled
