So little is stone

So little truly have we known

An eternity of disappearance

No longer have I my coherence

Fading footprints, caskets lowered

My eyes don't see in black-and-white color

Heartbeats stop,

Fight against the clock,

Time's running out

Tick-tock tick-tock

Hiding out and trying to see

Which ones the hero, which the bully

And like the ripple of the sand

I can no longer see your hand

So little have I a solid grasp

So little ever comes to pass

So much can we see come undone

So now I'm left myself minus one
