Never look into the mirror
Unless you´re ready to face the crude reality
Just close your eyes and let it be

Years are lingering across my cheeks
The fear of time slowly passing by
Hidden in my eyes

Tears are falling upon my hands
As dry as the desert under the burning sun
They left on my lips the taste of sorrow and pain

Time will spread its wings and fly
Like an eagle through the winds
The tide will wait for me until I´m ready to be free

Through your fingers
Time is flowing like a river to the sea
Just like those tears from your eyes
Through your fingers
Your life is flowing like a river to the sea
Just like the lines of your hands

I can see a young girl that I will not ever be again
So hard to think that she was me
So fragile and innocent
Looking for shelter in the wrong arms
Breaking the bonds that helped me not to stumble and fall

Time will spread its wings and fly
Like an eagle through the winds
The tide will wait for me until I´m ready to be free
To be free

Through your fingers
Time is flowing like a river to the sea
Just like those tears from your eyes
Through your fingers
Your life is flowing like a river to the sea
Just like the lines of your hands

Your youth will fade away
Like the echoes of singing bells in the dark
Your memories will turn as pale
As old photographs loosing their colors
As time passes by
How long will it last?
Only a fool would say
Never look into the mirror
And listen to the bells of oblivion
