Harbinger of Decay

We travel as dust besmeared with sluttish time
In silent apparel that eats at the prime
Countdown to death
Chronometer filled with breath
Corporeal weakness, Bastille of the damned
En-shadowed by timelessness closely to hand
Countdown to death
Chronometer filled with breath
Harbinger of decay
Endless time keeper
Free my mind from your grains of sand
Harbinger of decay
Endless time keeper
Free my mind from holding on
to what was never mine
In time we’ll sleep this world away
Asserted by frailties grip on the past
Forgiveness becomes Sisyphean so fast
Countdown to death
Chronometer filled with breath
Unravelled, unknowing and brittle of bone
We carry our heartache and love to the stone
