Withering time, so elusive

So shapeless

Graceful coil, crumbling glory

It will revive

Exalt the endless chain

Exalt the withering times

Time decides what lives or dies

Time can crawl, and time can fly

It can wither and erase

It can make a new beginning

There is nothing time can't beat

There is nothing time will need

To destroy and bloom again

A vicious circle older than the earth

Decay, destroy to reform again

Withering time

Withering time, so elusive

So shapeless

Graceful coil, crumbling glory

It will revive

Exalt the endless chain

Exalt the withering times

Broken windows, blistering paint

Lashing windows, hot suns and rain

Wood has splintered, walls are cracked

The elements are just as vicious

All that men have made won't last

In the future as in the past

But our memories are strong

And will outlive all circles of time

Time; transcend beyond all life, transcend beyond

On! Until the end of time, on and on!

Live! Before we waste our time, before we run out

Broken, blistering, lashing, splintering, cracking, crawling, flying, withering time

Withering time, so elusive

So shapeless

Graceful coil, crumbling glory

It will revive

Exalt the endless chain

Exalt the withering times
