The Hourglass - NAOKI & Arc System Works

Every moment is dead to me Do you remember? Because I can't forget The saddest story, of all that ever was, or will be Laid out before me A living heart attack Play it back, play it back Take my eyes, I cannot see sense Past and future tense. Every moment is dead to me Safe and sound, anywhere but here I see it crystal clear, but it means nothing to me It means nothing to me It means nothing to me Have you seen a future, filled with regret? Breathe and count to ten Start over again You want to run away Just let yourself decay A living heart attack Play it back, play it back The empty hourglass We're going nowhere fast There's no more time to kill If time is standing still Take my eyes, I cannot see sense Past and future tense. Every moment is dead to me Safe and sound, anywhere but here I see it crystal clear, but it means nothing to me It means nothing to me It means nothing to me Play it back, play it back Over and over again Over and over again The empty hourglass We're going nowhere fast There's no more time to kill If time is standing still

We were given all once into our hands We explored the chances to make it last We discovered a way to integrate We stopped, rewinded, repeated everything Days of glory turning to extinction Only the strong will survive this fall Every wave is new until it breaks They say there'll come the day There will come the day Even the last of us will fall Proud of what we stood for The day that we will be gone Proud of we still stand for This is the last of us I have prayed for the gods and seven seas These are the last of us I sacrificed my love and all my dreams I have sailed from my safe harbors Catching trade winds on my sails And then they say there will come the day Even the last of us will fall Proud of what we stood for The day that we will be gone Proud of we still stand for They say there'll come the day There will come the day Even the last of us will fall Proud of what we stood for The day that we will be gone Proud of we still stand for This is the last of us We are the haunted, dead or alive These are the last of us This is where we stand 'till the end to come This is the last of us We are the haunted, dead or alive These are the last of us This is where we stand 'till the end to come Take my hand and we end this one we, the last of us

I feel like I'm pounding on a big door No one can hear me knocking I feel like I'm falling flat to the floor No one can catch me from falling The hourglass has no more grains of sand My watch has stopped, no more turning hands The crew have abandoned the ship The lights are on but no one is in Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down I feel like I'm calling on a telephone No one can hear the ringing I feel like I'm running up a steep hill No one can stop me from running The hourglass has no more grains of sand My watch has stopped, no more turning hands The little hand shakes its fist The face is hanging out on a spring Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down The hourglass has no more grains of sand Little red grains of sand My watch has stopped, no more turning hands Little green neon hands Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down Feel like I'm calling back to the shore No one can hear me calling Feel like I'm falling back to the floor No one can catch me from falling Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down
