Time Will Slip Away - Lyrics

Crashing waves on the rocks surround her 
A piece of silk across her eyes
Across her lap lies a lyra 
The raging storm drawing near
Her right hand plucks out a chord 
Ignoring the plight the Fates intently weave

We know in Time the storm will pass 
All trials resolve at last 
A mere step upon the path

The Blue of Sky and Sunlit rays: 
No clouds to hide their Grace 
And yet Time will slip away… 

Her refuge robs her of Light 
Hoping the trials resolved in the past
Will let her step be unhindered 
Regaining hope; yet she lingers
She hesitates as the storm subsides 
Withdrawing waters reveal the haunting past
She cannot escape by running away 
She cannot escape the mounting pressure…

We know in Time the storm will pass 
All trials resolve at last 
A mere step upon the path 

The Blue of Sky and Sunlit rays: 
No clouds to hide their Grace 
And yet Time will slip away…
