"The Pendulum" lyrics - ARCH ENEMY

The sands of time, they slip away
Through our fingers day by day
Countless grains, a steady stream
Lost forever like a fleeting dream
Each grain a moment, a memory gone
A story told, a love once shone
A laughter shared, a tear shed
All swept away as time marches ahead

[Pre-Chorus:]
Always chasing something more
Lifeline treading a fine line
The future's knocking at the door

[Chorus:]
Sands of time
So merciless
What are you waiting for?
The pendulum swings back and forth

The sands of time, they never cease
A never-ending cycle of release
Of what was once and what will be
A reminder of our own mortality

[Pre-Chorus:]
Always chasing something more
Lifeline treading a fine line
The future's knocking at the door

[Chorus:]
Sands of time
So merciless
What are you waiting for?
The pendulum swings back and forth

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus:]
Sands of time
So merciless
What are you waiting for?
The pendulum swings back and forth
The pendulum swings back and forth
