Metrayer - Shattered Hourglass Lyrics

Day after day is a constant reminder of what I've done
Everyone looks at me in a weird way
They know I did wrong
I lost all I loved because of ambition
There's no turning back
I thought science was an ally
But it's not
It played against me

Pretending to be God
Dead descendant
Can only touch him through tears
The remedy worse than the disease

Back into the lab I go
And use all my remaining hope
To build my greatest invention yet
I'll go to the past and fix my mistake

Ray of light
Endless void
Speed of sound
What will await

I've tried so hard to fit the pieces
Yet it was all in vain
I breathe this air that keeps me alive
But doesn't let me live

Once I am here thanks to my mind
I have the chance
Back in these days to retrace my steps
I'll redeem my life
All seems familiar
Moments I lived
Constant dèja vu
Against the clock
I run through the time
I'm searching for myself

Pretending to be God
Risky existence
No choice but to end my past self
And prevent this from happening

Shattered Hourglass

I save my son
From my own hand
I kill me
We disappear

I've tried so hard to fit the pieces
Yet it was all in vain
Now I won't breathe
The air that kept me alive
But he'll return to life
