Hourglass - Aether Realm

A golden sunset

Prelude to the star cloaked sky

Yet this beauty only serves to remind me

Of the passage of time

We are but grains of sand in an hourglass

And we’re falling fast

So take haste

Don’t delay

For the wheels of time’s eternal flow

They halt unfaltering progress for no one

Another day and another step

Another hour that we’re closer to death

And what we have we waste away

Unfeeling cold decay

And what we have we waste away

Naive to mortal fate

We are but grains of sand in an hourglass

And we’re falling fast

So take haste

Don’t delay

For the wheels of time’s eternal flow

They halt unfaltering progress for no one

Fear not your death

For the hour of your doom is set

And there is no escape

Invoke your inner flame

Ensure that none forget your name

Time slips away

Mourn not the dead

In their tales they live again

Save your tears for the living

Who never truly live

This is your life, so rise up and live

We are but grains of sand in an hourglass

And we’re falling fast

So take haste

Don’t delay

Your time, it slips away
