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
