Lyrics
Withering Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Withering time, so elusive, so shapeless
Graceful coil, crumbling glory, it will revive
Exalt the endless chain
Exalt the withering times
Time decides what lives or dies
Time can crawl, and time can fly
It can wither and erase
It can make a new beginning
There is nothing time can't beat
There is nothing time will need
To destroy and bloom again
A vicious circle older than the earth
Decay, destroy to reform again, withering time
Withering time, so elusive, so shapeless
Graceful coil, crumbling glory, it will revive
Exalt the endless chain
Exalt the withering times
Broken windows, blistering paint
Lashing windows, hot suns and rain
Wood has splintered, walls are cracked
The elements are just as vicious
All that men have made won't last
In the future as in the past
But our memories are strong
And will outlive all circles of time
Time, transcend beyond all life, transcend beyond
Oh until the end of time (on and on)
Live before we waste our time (before we run out)
Broken, blistering, lashing, splintering
Cracking, crawling, flying, withering time
Withering time, so elusive, so shapeless
Graceful coil, crumbling glory, it will revive
Exalt the endless chain
Exalt the withering times
