Time was...

before sin came along
man once walked with God
where did it all go wrong

a garden of pure paradise
a serpent hissing out his lies
till man saw man in his own eyes

Time then...

took a drastic turn
a lesson yet to learn
even though it hurts

clearly thinking we know best
when will we get it through our heads
that the wage of sin is death

Time closes...

quickly in on us
what doesn't fall apart will rust
ashes to ashes, dust to dust

When all this time
blinded by distorted love
instead of from above when
Time was...
