Lamb Of God - Hourglass lyrics

Album: Ashes Of The Wake (2004)

Privileged, a chosen few
Blessed with our time in hell
Witness a divine vision, the day we all fell suntil
Rapture of the dying age, a shattered hourglass
Wrath of the warring gods & so this too shall pass
Its only getting worse, not worth a moments regret
Each dawn another curse, every breath a twisting blade
What´ll be left behind in the ashes of the wake?

An ill wind blows this way, th edge of the envelope burns
For bearance & my vengeance, payment for your intent
Fear & death in the wings, in thrall of those fallen from grace
Petty is as petty does, witness the mass disgrace
God forbid you read the signs
watch for meanings between the lines

Gehenna has now arrived, no hindsight for the blind
Your trust has been misplaced, believed the lies told to your face
Became another casualty & now its too late
You finally made it home, draped in the flag that you fell for
And so it goes
The ashes of the wake
Its only getting worse...
