Story Behind The Song
"This was the 1st song we worked on together in a band rehearsal atmosphere, which is an entirely different approach that I've been used to over the years. It forced me way out of my comfort zone challenging me to look at song writing from a different perspective. This approach had powerful results infused with everyones energies and will be the way we do things from now on. It's made me a better musician." - Agrippa

Lyrics
A lifetime and legacy of apathy
A moment of predestined clarity
A thought form of instant eternity
The gentle seduction of laxity
The tiring concept of ceaselessness
A feeling of unfaded ancientness
Looking though eyes spanning emptiness
A second of time in this endlessness
Followed the ever dying sun
Watch the falling sands
Seems like forever wasting time away
Survived the long and colder nights
Watch the falling sands
Seems like forever wasting time away
A system of natural processing
Existence - a phase of transitioning
A moment reflecting the quickening
Absorbed by the current of time passing
Followed the ever dying sun
Watch the falling sands
Seems like forever wasting time away
Survived the long and colder nights
Watch the falling sands
Seems like forever wasting time away
The season changed - eternal wheel
Watching the sands of time fall through the glass
measuring time through circumstance
An instant point in time - the hour's passed
