Withering Time Lyrics - After Forever - After Forever

Withering time, so elusive, so shapeless 

Graceful coil, crumbling glory, it will revive 

Exalt the endless chain 

Exalt the withering times 

Time decides what lives or dies 

Time can crawl and time can fly 

It can wither and erase 

It can make a new beginning 

There is nothing time can't beat 

There is nothing time will need 

To destroy and bloom again 

A vicious circle older than the earth 

Decay, destroy to reform again 

Withering time 

Withering time, so elusive, so shapeless 

Graceful coil, crumbling glory, it will revive 

Exalt the endless chain 

Exalt the withering times 

Broken windows, blistering paint 

Lashing winds, hot suns and rain 

Wood has splintered, walls are cracked 

The elements are just as vicious 

All what men have made won't last 

In the future as in the past 

But our memories are strong 

And will outlive all circles of time 

Time, transcend beyond all life, transcend beyond 

On until the end of time, on and on 

Live before we waste our time, before we run out 

Broken, blistering, lashing, splintering 

Cracking, crawling, flying, withering time 

Withering time, so elusive, so shapeless 

Graceful coil, crumbling glory, it will revive 

Withering time, so elusive, so shapeless 

Graceful coil, crumbling glory, it will revive 

Exalt the endless chain 

Exalt the withering times
