Sands of Time

A broken up tarmac, desolate road Borders with buildings, which silently erode Tumbleweeds play, the trees slowly die This is a town that has now said goodbye Spirits remain of those who once were Here for one reason, they're here to deter People that pass through this once thriving town Never do smile, they leave with a frown Haunted by visions they just can't explain Not once do they ever, return there again Nothing exists, the sun hasn't shined The only sounds heard are those in your mind Sooner or later, the buildings will fall Not even a tree will be left standing tall The road that remains will turn into dirt This town now a painful memory of hurt. Exactly what happened, will never be said That truth remains buried, along with those dead A secret now lies, deep in the land Of a little old town now covered by sand
