The Face of Time
A smiling ghost in the silhouette of night
A frowing guise in the blind man's sight
Conjoined twins severed by hourglass sand
A knife in the back of one by the other's hand
A system paired like the moon and the waves
One drags the other like the dead to their graves
Crimsoned by wounds and dropped six feet down
Broken eyes face the tide's master and instantly drown
The brightest sphere in the sky stands all alone
Even the pressure of the sky will never melt stone
An accidental move makes the most fatal motion
But with the sun behind it, the moon still pulls the ocean
No ghost or corpse personifies the blue-eyed sky
The light of Heaven returns after every goodbye
The sting of the hourglass hand is so often real
But the same grains softly cover the wounds hardest to heal
The grinning dance of the wind on the face
The leering fear of those time can't erase
Every blue sky thunders, every day will break
It feels wrong to bleed, but there is never a mistake
