[Chorus] Watch the hourglass drain itself, watch the smiles grow forced. In retrospect, nothing turned out the way I thought; all is lost.
I guess I'm overly philosophical, but that's just my cross. 'cause every time I stop to watch the present I see the corpse, decayed, of what once was. Time's our guide on the path of life, and it's leading us astray as the blood turns cold.
[Chorus:] all love lost
We all feed on expectation and dreams; damn whoever gets in the way. The loved one today might be the scapegoat to be; Fuck or get fucked-it's always been that way.
[Chorus:] all is lost
Sweet promises whispered by lovers at night, given with passion before. Say them again, look into my eyes and tell me- who's the whore?
The deceiver will think himself deceived Forming a truth of his own, as they always do. It's only a matter of what you want to believe, But in the end we've got nothing-Everything's lost. Time's our guide on the path of life, and it's leading us astray as the blood turns cold. Everything's lost...
