HUNGER OF TIME

MAAT - HUNGER OF TIME

Intro

Tick... tock... do you hear it?

It's not time falling... it's angels falling...

Hook

Before the world swallows me inside the hourglass of Chronos,

I'll shatter the glass with my teeth, let time bleed, let it choke, let it die.

I'm like a soul eater wandering over the bodies of fallen angels,

My hunger is not from hell, but from heaven that left us without a word.

Verse 1

I wake up inside the glass, sand in my lungs instead of air,

Every grain is a soul that didn't make it to heaven.

Chronos watches from above, turns the wheel, counts the losses,

And below me a graveyard of wings, feathers and robes.

They said "time heals wounds" - they lied straight to my face,

Time only devours wounds and makes them bleed harder.

So I bite the frame, crush time into dust,

Cause if I must fall, I won't fall as sand - I'll fall as a sign.

Hook

Before the world swallows me inside the hourglass of Chronos,

I'll shatter the glass with my teeth, let time bleed, let it choke, let it die.

I'm like a soul eater wandering over the bodies of fallen angels,

My hunger is not from hell, but from heaven that left us without a word.

Verse 2

I walk over these bodies, collecting names from the floor,

Every angel is a clock that stopped halfway.

I swallow their silence, I swallow their last whisper,

And I feel heaven's wrath growing inside me.

Not holy, not damned, in the middle of the crack,

The one who was supposed to be a guardian, became a curse.

I don't want wings, I don't want a halo, I don't want a throne,

I just want to break this glass and get out of Chronos.

Outro

Let it die... without a word...

Hunger of time...
