I look through the hourglass waiting for time to pass The hours are like old traces of lines in the sand It seems I've strayed from the path somehow Lost in the memories of old tomorrows Not recalling where I am, I stop for a moment in thought A voice calls out to me in the darkness of my imagination Take my hand and walk with me, for I will show you the way Take my hand and walk with me, for I will lead the way You dream of that which lies beyond, but once you're there, there is no turning back When you walk with me, your fate has been sealed until time without end Desiring to be enlightened at every cost, no matter the consequence A weakness greater than you will ever know, for the means justify the end A moment seems like a lifetime in this mindset As if time stands still, yet the sand seeps down at a steady pace I bend my thoughts in contemplation, challenging accepted insight In deepest thought I am as time runs out
