This is part one of the Rise of Narmer trilogy, telling the story of the first pharaoh of Egypt. The trilogy is split across the upcoming "Another Life" album.

lyrics

You're only living for tomorrow
The best things happened yesterday
Time heals all wounds,
I hear the wise say
When will the madness slip away?

We are all looking to the future
in hope we'll see a better day

Sands of time are running out for you
Better live it while you can
Sands of time ain't gonna stop for you
Light your bridges, burn the plan

You are the master of your destiny
The key to open every door
Each tiny movement carries over
Each word ingrained for evermore

No point in waiting for solutions
This is the way we carry on

[SPOKEN]
In the grand tapestry of existence
time sweeps us along
its current never pausing for anyone
We find ourselves in a perpetual dance with time
a delicate balance between the past and the future
But amidst this ceaseless flow
there lies a truth that echoes through the ages
the importance of seizing the day
For time, once lost, can never be regained
It slips through our fingers like grains of sand
drifting away into the vast expanse of eternity

Sands of time are running out for you
Better live it while you can
Sands of time ain't gonna stop for you
Light your bridges, burn the plan

Your hopes in every grain of sand
Are slowly slipping through your hands
Between what was and what will be
Stand up, destroy futility
