Echos - The Absence

Blinded behind walls of
Self built stained glass
Focus enters eyes well watered
At last, the eyes 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 tell with one second to live

The hammer comes down and 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 rattles a mile away from your restless symphony
The ridden thought unsound
The shadows that crept lonely all around

The hammer comes down and 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

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

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

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

Slowing down to see the mountains you built
Slowing down, your life story to tell
Slowing down with one second to live
