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
