lyrics

Those Little Grains Of Sand

If I lived for a thousand years,
If I was, to stay remain
The bloodshed hopes of many a man,
Would be to me as grains of sand
Be to me as grains of sand,
Fly past in their decades
All would be ants upon the land,
I’d cry, declare, for shame

If I lived for a million years,
If I was, to stay remain
The land would roll into the sea,
The earth would crush those grains of sand
And the grains of sand would fly between,
Fly fast yet unseen slow
All would be ants upon the land,
I’d see them quick below

If I lived for eternity,
If I was, to stay remain
The secrets of the darkened heart,
Would open up to my refrain
I would sing of murdered souls,
Of cold death past and clear
Oh the little, grains of sand would stain,
In their number I would stay right here
