Lamb Of God lyrics - Hourglass


Title: Hourglass
Artist: Lamb Of God
Album: Ashes Of The Wake
Year: 2004
Submitted by: Beth


Privileged a chosen few
Blessed with our time in hell
Witness a divine vision, the day we all fell still
Rapture of the dying age, a shattered hourglass
Wrath of the warring gods and so this too shall pass
It’s only getting worse, not worth a moments regret
Each dawn another curse, every breath a twisting blade
What will be left behind in the ashes of the wake
An ill wind blows this way, the edge of the envelop burns
Forbearance and my vengeance, payment for your intent
Fear and death in the wings, in thrall of those fallen from grace
Petty is as petty does, witness the mass disgrace
God forbid you read the signs, watch for meaning between the lines
Gehenna has now arrived, no hindsight for the blind
Your trust has been misplaced, believed the lies told to your face
Became another casualty and now it’s too late
You finally made it home, draped in the flag that you fell for
And so it goes
The ashes of the wake, it’s only getting worse
