Tilting The Hourglass Lyrics

You take my breathe away...

but I'll never taste your lips

as fate
keeps me locked away

I must close my eyes to see your face



emptiness has darkened my eyes

as I hopelessly beg for my life to
end

...tell me why...

my iron eyes tell the tale

heroes
always pay in their blood

I can be only this



I see the fear
growing in their lost eyes

my purpose is so clear...I am the ax

I
am the ax and this is why I must not fear the end

and when I'm gone will
you forget me?

pen wears its steady course across the page

resigned
to it's designs to take the hive



emptiness has darkened my eyes

as I hopelessly beg for my life to end

...tell me why...

I wish I
could make you see, I wish I could make you see through the pain

through
the end, I wish I could make you see the greater purpose that I have to
serve...

no one else will fight...no-one else will fight...so I must

my iron eyes tell the tale

heroes always pay in their blood

I can
be only this



...I am the ax...

fear has been lost to
faith

the darkened night has come before the end

of which we must
prevail

amidst the pitch of steel we shall arise

I will destroy all
those who oppose me



my iron eyes tell the tale

heroes always
pay in their blood

I can be only this



I see the fear growing
in there...
