Hourglass Songtext
von Satellites

Everywhere I go
Around every corner
On every avenue
A million reminders
A million scars
Modern broken houses
Miss-sculptured minds
Black rivers run to dead seas
White crosses all that is recent all that is pure
There′s a date on the papers so far away from the day it is here
Empty champagne bottles
Bullets for corks
Next generation playing alone
No mention of yesterday
Realisation slowly chips smiles away


So please
Can someone tell me how to block the hole
In the hourglass draining from your soul
I see the hope drain from your eyes
Everywhere I go
Hourglasses set in concrete floors
Reconciliation nailed to the walls
No sign of repair
No plans to build
I guess there's no point in the end
The penny dropped just as the price rose a penny again
So please
Can someone tell me how to block the hole
In the hourglass draining from your soul
I see the hope drain from your eyes"
