Hourglass

I have travelled all across the oceans
I have seen what there is to see
Been living my life in the fast lane
Now this heart has been torn from me
It's getting colder, and I'm slowly dying
I should have told her, and now it's too late
I'm going blind in the light of day
Answer to the hourglass
No escape in the world of the lonely
There's a fire burning deep inside
The soul of the last soldier
There's been so many women
The smell of sweet perfume
And I'm still searching for a hand to hold
Love has been a stranger to me
And I'm still trying to find the key
When the night draws near, I am slowly rising
And the moon is bright as the city lights grow dim
I'm running wild in a sea of dreams
We all answer to the hourglass
No escape in the world of the lonely
There's a fire burning deep inside
The soul of the last soldier
And I'm still trying hard
And the night is clear, I am slowly rising
Running wild as the wolves are crying
I'm getting older, soon it's too late
Answer to the hourglass
No escape in the world of the lonely
Feel the fire burning deep inside
The soul of the last soldier
Answer to the hourglass
No escape in the world of the lonely
Feel the fire burning deep inside
The soul of the last soldier
Hey stranger, I know you
We are the same, we two
We'll walk this road together
We'll ride the winds of never
In the fire we remain
Not knowing what we gain
And when this nightmare's over
Our lives begin anew
