What are the questions, where are the answers
Who are the wise men and who are the fools
Who are the judges that make all the rules
When is the day that comes too soon
What is the right side of a prison bar
What is the distance that is too far
How can we live and not be free
How can we find what we cannot see

All that matters will burn in our minds
Everything passes through the sands of time
All the gold will cease to shine
Everything must pass through the sands of time

Can we visualize or even try
To seek the knowledge of those that died
Defy the darkness with the light
Fight for a change in a world of might
Can we remember what it was we feared
Can we see what is not clear
Can we face a world that is not true
Is there more after your life is through

All that matters will burn in our minds
Everything passes through the sands of time
All the gold will cease to shine
Everything must pass through the sands of time

All that is written, all that is taught
All the great wars that were ever fought
All the knowledge in all the books
All the false gods that we mistook

All must crumble, all must die
Everything must pass through the sands of time
All must crumble, all must die
Everything must pass through the sands of time

Sands of time, sands of time
Everything must pass through the sands of time
Sands of time, sands of time
Everything must pass through the sands of time
