Lyrics:
Falling to the sand
Smitten by the hand that fed you long ago
How the mighty fall
Once you stood so tall it gave you vertigo
Now the memory of your life is playing out in front of you
Life, death, a prisoner of mortality
Time flies into the mouth of eternity
Crawling in the dirt
Reeling from the hurt that just won’t go away
Longing to be dead
The sickness in your head torments you every day
Sorrow is your wife, her claws deep into you
Life, death, a prisoner of mortality
Time flies into the jaws of history
Into the heart
Into the lungs of God
Into the mouth of eternity
It’s too late to turn back
But you can’t move on
Your life’s not over
But your life is done
Mourning your former life
Memory is a knife whose cut you cannot stand
Reckoning the cost
Everything you’ve lost brought on by your own hand
This is the story of your…
Life, death, a prisoner of mortality
Time flies into the jaws of history
Into the heart
Into the lungs of God
Into the mouth of eternity
