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