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
