[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Steel of our brave hearts trapped inside
In frozen illusion
High is the mountain we must climb
Reach out for rebellion

Rise up to the open sky
One chance at the price of glory
Fire in a thousand blazing skies
One lifetime ascending
Strong as an army side by side
Still brave and defending

March on through the tragic lands
Cold tears in the north wind falling
Raise your souls high
See the new dawn arise through the

[Chorus]
Sands of all time, mystery of life
Everlasting sadness through light years gone by
Land lost in time, once more back where we belong
Promises of yesterday, we'll keep holding on
[Verse 2]
Silent and twisted lifeless mind
So blind in delusion
Cursed by the emptiness inside
Cast out in confusion

Strike back with the power in hand
Break free from a past life dying
Onwards we strive till
The answers we'll find in the

[Chorus]
Sands of all time, mystery of life
Everlasting sadness through light years gone by
Land lost in time, once more back where we belong
Promises of yesterday, we'll keep holding on

Still lost alone and I'm dying
Daylight the world is still crying
Evermore we'll search throughout a lifetime

(solos: Herman/Sam)

[Bridge]
Stars are falling down tonight, light the path where eagles fly
Find the strength inside us, a new world reborn
Silent tears of pain we cried, raise our hands unto the sky
Break the chains that bind us, one moment in time as we
Rise up to the open sky
One chance at the price of glory
Raise your souls high
See the new dawn arise through the

[Chorus]
Sands of all time, mystery of life
Everlasting sadness through light years gone by
Land lost in time, once more back where we belong
Memories of life to pray for
Everlasting price to pay for
Promises of yesterday, we'll keep holding on

[Outro]
Sands of all time, once more we'll rise up again
Stand alone and fight till the end
