The Hourglass - 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 words I am

Absolved for 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

From beneath a hanging sword

She lives to pulls its strings

As the moorings tear or hold

She plays master to her kings

The shadow in her eyes

Hides my imperfection

And in the night I am

Dissolved from all deception
