Withering time, so elusive, so shapeless
Graceful coil, crumbling glory, it will revive
Exalt the endless chain
Exalt the withering timesTime decides what lives or dies
Time can crawl and time can fly
It can wither and erase
It can make a new beginningThere is nothing time can't beat
There is nothing time will need
To destroy and bloom again
A vicious circle older than the earthDecay, destroy to reform again
Withering timeWithering time, so elusive, so shapeless
Graceful coil, crumbling glory, it will revive
Exalt the endless chain
Exalt the withering timesBroken windows, blistering paint
Lashing winds, hot suns and rain
Wood has splintered, walls are cracked
The elements are just as viciousAll what men have made won't last
In the future as in the past
But our memories are strong
And will outlive all circles of timeTime, transcend beyond all life, transcend beyondOn until the end of time, on and on
Live before we waste our time, before we run outBroken, blistering, lashing, splintering
Cracking, crawling, flying, withering timeWithering time, so elusive, so shapeless
Graceful coil, crumbling glory, it will revive
Withering time, so elusive, so shapeless
Graceful coil, crumbling glory, it will reviveExalt the endless chain
Exalt the withering times
