Null Device - The Hourglass Lyrics

The Hourglass


Falling with the hourglass
Time will never stay behind
As the throttles run to red
Our motors rev one more time

The timbre of her voice
It signs my confession
And through the words I am
Absolved for my obsession

In the light I can
Almost see your face
Through the heat I can
Seek and find this place
In our flesh and blood
Through this skin and bone
We are born again
We are brought

In the night I can
Taste the steely chill
Through the cold I can
Learn to feel the thrill
In our flesh and blood
Through this skin and bone
We are born again
We are brought home

Ruling by her every sigh
She rewrites all our laws
As her rifling spins my head
I am martyred in her cause

The fires in the forge
Return me now in grace
And through the flames I am
Consumed in her embrace

From beneath a hanging sword
She lives to pulls its strings
As the moorings tear or hold
She plays master to her kings

The shadow in her eyes
Hides my imperfection
And in the night I am
Dissolved from all deception
