The Hourglass
Immortal man and mortal woman
The Hourglass ticking away.
Limitless love,
Yet limited time.
Wooed with music and beauty,
Two lovers love.
Bonds that can't be broken
--Except by the end of the Hourglass.
Guidance and passion,
With self-control and fear,
Leading his dear,
Out of the cruel world beneath
That of the living.
"Don't look! Don't look!"
Itching, anxious, love.
One peek too soon... love slips away
Back into the darkness.
Gone forever.
Leaving only memories and pain.
Leaving the broken Hourglass.
The Hourglass ticking away.
Limitless love,
Yet limited time.
Wooed with music and beauty,
Two lovers love.
Bonds that can't be broken
--Except by the end of the Hourglass.
Guidance and passion,
With self-control and fear,
Leading his dear,
Out of the cruel world beneath
That of the living.
"Don't look! Don't look!"
Itching, anxious, love.
One peek too soon... love slips away
Back into the darkness.
Gone forever.
Leaving only memories and pain.
Leaving the broken Hourglass.
