Hourglass lyrics - Defeater

The years drift by

Hourglass in the hand of the reaper

Misused time

Spent in bar rooms and brothels and squandered

Every day and night

Working alleys and card games and pushers

The years drift by

Shaking hands with the reaper

"Days come, days go

The faces blur the same

Some stay, some go"

Days come, days go

Man of god still drinks alone

"Sins stay, hope don't"

Nights come, nights go

"The dirt all moves the same

Some live, some don't"

Nights come, nights go

Sins stay, hope don't
