lyrics

The crimson sand is slipping through the hour glass...
But this could be,
Eternity for me.

So watch the clouds,
Overhead,
Passing by like broken dreams.

The season's slipping through our hands,
Faster than we thought it seemed.

Now;
He's got his finger on the trigger,
Something is daring him to pull,
Well he'll never...
He'll never
Learn to make them full.

The crimson sand is slipping through the hour glass,
As the king of hearts is counting grains of sand.

Bu we've wasted all our time,
On these memories of you,
Of broken glass,
And shattered toys.

I never was one for the noise
Of screaming,
Between lovers who never knew their names,
Woke up beside my broken veins.

Now;
He's got his finger on the trigger,
Something is daring him to pull,
Well he'll never...
He'll never
Learn to make them full.

The crimson sand is slipping through the hour glass,
As the king of hearts is counting grains of sand.

You had needles,
We had pills,
If only you had climbed those hills,
Or maybe even mountains-
I guess we'll never know.

But there's one thing we'll always guarantee,
Is that you'll remain in memory...

Of what we lost!

And your scars aren't here for show,
You know more than letting go,
We'll fight for every breath,
We won't let you...

Fall behind!
We won't find resolve in the refined,
We'll-
Hold on!
For the king of hearts
Hold on,
For the kings of hearts.

I won't let you go!
I won't let go.
