Blinded behind walls of
 self built stained glass
 focus enters eyes well watered 
 at last, with vision split
 hewn end to end, life-force leaked
 from sun cracked skin
 in the blink of an eye, dying too is the quick
 this life story to tellwith one second to live

 The hammer comes down on thunder strikes
 where we burn fast in the build of our lives

 Slowing down to see the mountains you built
 this life story to tell with one second to live
 slowing down to see the time that passed you by
 your life story to tell with only one second to live

 Time takes throne to purge the fill of our flight
 when days turn into years and a loss of life
 death battles a mile away
 from your restless symphony
 the ridden thought unsound,
 the shadows that crept lonely all around

 The hammer comes down on thunder strikes
 where we burn fast in the build of our lives
 now waiting will just not work
 when tales must be told, changed and retold
