hourglass
[Verse 1:] I hear a ticking, it keeps on ticking Though it`s only inside my head The light is flicking, and hell is kicking A believer before its dead  [Chorus:] And I`m looking to the hourglass That`s running out of sand I`m looking through the hourglass Into another land  [Verse 2:] I hear a crying of people dying And it`s taking me to the street Intensifying a self-denying That bringing will starve defeat  [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge:] Time is sifting away so fast Loving...I`ve got to love what lasts `Cause where you hide your treasure You hide your heart If you hide it in this world You know it`s gonna fall apart  [Repeat Chorus]
