Hourglass - Plains of Remembrance Lyrics

[ONTO THE PLAINS]

My heart is bleeding through the water from my eyes.
I step onto the plains away from bleakness
and starless city skies.
Will the dust enter my veins?

Memories come fading back
as the darkness casts his shadow.
I feel something in the air -
chances fading quickly.
This time I thought you might know
I'm bleeding and just don't care.

Can I remember and stay, hope I remember today?
It's not easy.
Can I surrender the day, forget what you say
Can you help me at all?

The mountains are fading as I start to run
Sunshine is changing and life is no fun
Seconds are fading as quick as the sun
Moonlight is changing and I've come undone.

[CHANGE BEGINNING]

We tried to fabricate our dreams
although they're fading away.
Can't start to make a change,
we'll try again some other day.

Open eyes and broken homes
won't lead us through this pain.
We've come so far without a chance
Let's press on through the pouring rain

Head up, heart down, we walk
across the broken ground of the plains.
What's done is done.
Better keep on moving before our time has come.
No place to run with change beginning
to shape what we become.

Time is fleeting as we're meeting
halfway through the plains.
Pressures beating while you're cheating
one more day from death.

Vision, pretender of dreams and life reborn
System, defender - your chance at change unworn.

I feel change beginning

Never fear the end is near
For you it's been too long.
All those years of bleeding tears
have left you so alone.

Waken, remember all that you have learned.
Shaken, surrender to the trust that you have earned.

Head up, heart down, we walk
across the broken ground of the plains.
What's done is done.
Better keep on moving before our time has come.
No place to run with change beginning
to shape what we become.

[FOR YOU]

Reaching out for something
as I cross the running water
Calling out for that someone
I don't know who until I've found her.

Breaking up the picture
that I'm seeing in the distance.
My life's becoming clearer
with time and your persistence.


The mountains are fading as I start to run
Sunshine is changing and life is no fun
Seconds are fading as quick as the sun
Moonlight is changing and I've come undone for you.
