The Hourglass Songtext
von Null Device

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 woods I am
Absolved of 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

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

From beneath the hanging sword
She lives to pull its strings
As the moorings tear a hole
She plays master to her kings
The shadow in her eyes
Hides my imperfection
And in the night I am
Dissolved from all deception


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
