As the wind in the night blows cold
Do you look to the dawn, see a new day begun?
Running in the whispering rain
Truth or thunder, life or blame
Do you need a mirror, do you see it well?
No longer the fool, the vision is done
When it's over, find the answer
Ride the days and sail the nights
Does the hand of God still toll the bell?
Your eyes are burning
And the sands of our time grow old, no, no, no
Do you see a vision of a perfect place?
And the sands of our time grow old
Anno Mundi, yeah
Still generals fighting, making war on the world
Your eyes are burning
Truth or thunder, life or blame
Anno Mundi, can you wonder
And the sands of our time grow old
As the wind in the night blows cold
If only they could see what you're saying was true, ooh yeah
Are you among the blind so easily lead?
There are people laughing, they're all laughing at you
Your eyes are burning
Your eyes are burning
Can you tell me, where's the glory?
Can you see me now, oh, can you hear me now? Oh, no
As the wind in the night blows cold
There's a hope that's growing and a vision too
Does it make you laugh, put a smile on your face?
Your eyes are burning
All those angry hearts now reach out for you
Do you join in the war, do you fight for the 'cause?
When it's over, you'll find the answer, running in the rain
As the wind in the night blows cold
Ride the days and sail the nights
Don't they know, don't they know? No, no, no
Do you follow the path that so many tread?
Depend on another to fight it alone
Can you tell me where's the glory?
And the sands of our time grow old
