Lamb Of God - Hourglass

Hourglass

Privileged, a chosen few
Blessed with our time in hell
Witness a divine vision, the day we all fell still.
Rapture of the dying age, a shattered hourglass
Wrath of the warring gods and so this too shall pass.
Its only getting worse, not worth a moments regret
Each dawn anothe r curse, every breath a twisting blade
What wi will be left behind in the ashes of the wake?
An i will wind blows this way, the edge of the envelope burns
Forbearance and my vengance, payment for your intent
Fear and death in the wings, in thrall of those fallen from grace
Petty is as petty does, witness the mass disgrace.
(Fear and 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 anothe r casualty and 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...
