Sand In The Wind - Týr

Lifetime is short compared to the time the earth has existed in

Earth’s lifetime compared to that of the great universe

Equally short, our images of the world that we populate

Die harder, our fate and our images

Seen through our eyes might well be lies

What access do we have to the world we’re living in

Is this a dream that we live, it’s hard to believe

What proof can there be of life, I just think that

It’s strange how we all walk around, on visitors feet upon our ground

And make believe that this is all, as we know what all is

And strange how how we can’t understand

Compared, earth is only a grain of sand

When faced with this, I can’t deny that ignorance is bliss

When all things flow eternally, and no man is ever there to see

The great eternal unperceived, what is existence

Are these things real although unseen

And what does it matter that we have been

Like grains of sand blow in the wind, so is our existence

Kill the fire, cut the wire, deny desire, be a liar, watch me then

Feed the fire, pull the wire, then take it higher than lie, don’t waste breath

on it

While we think redemption will save us from temptation

We can’t escape religion whatever it’s origin, is there no

Way out of the madness, it’s only brought us sadness

Consider it an illness in life, why did it never seem

Strange how we all walk around, on visitors feet upon our ground

And make believe that this is all, as we know what all is

And strange how how we can’t understand

Compared, earth is only a grain of sand

When faced with this I can’t deny that ignorance is bliss

When all things flow eternally, and no man is ever there to see

The great eternal unperceived, what is existence

Are these things real although unseen

And what does it matter that we have been

Like grains of sand blow in the wind, so is our existence
