Time of Twilight (Dragonsfire)

Waiting for the sunrise, struggling on our way Nothing here remains, lone sands stretch far away Centuries pass by, cultures are forgotten Monuments decay, leaving nations rotten Time is short, don't you know, we carry on with this life Like it was through the years, all the way back in time I met a traveller from an antique land He saw the writings in the desert sand A shattered face lies there besides two legs of stone Waiting for the sunrise, struggling on our way Nothing here remains, lone sands stretch far away Centuries pass by, cultures are forgotten Monuments decay, leaving nations rotten Time is short, don't you know, we carry on with this life Like it was through the years, all the way back in time I met a traveller from an antique land He saw the writings in the desert sand A shattered face lies there besides two legs of stone The glimpse of a lost world was shown All is crashing down and grinded into dust Empires burn in flames as we all combust When centuries pass by our heritage is lost Falls apart one day and starts to rust Time is short, don't you know, we carry on with this life Like it was through the years, all the way back in time See things I've never seen And things I've never known They keep living on When years have long gone by What memory remains? Nothing lasts for good Precious are our years, yet transient like a glass No matter what we do to make our relicts last A cold and silent stone will carry our names But our grave won't tell something About what we became Time is short, don't you know, we carry on with this life Like it was through the years, all the way back in time
