about

This song was originally recorded on the self titled Omega A.D. demo cd

lyrics

The Sands Of Time

A mote of dust carried by a gust of wind
Out of control, guided by chaos.
Its only until you test your supports
That you risk them crumbling beneath your weight
Shattering all you know, dispelling the illusion of control.

And only the fools live on in ignorance and
denial

We stumble ceaselessly, blind from the dust storm.
Buffeted by gale force winds, grasping for a
hold on anything solid.
Clasping at straws of reason, we knit them into a blanket
But eventually it is torn from our child-hands.

And only the fools live on in ignorance and
denial


Though we seek others for company, we are
always alone with ourselves.
It's our own voice that we must live with.
Its the last voice we hear before embracing oblivion.
One day we'll falter, vitality will ebb...
And we'll topple...
...Into the dirt to be consumed by the sands of time.

Currently on hiatus:
