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
