Brick by brick the world will crumble
By enmity's hammer, all are humbled
One by one the numbers fall
The standing fight as wounded crawl
But how quickly one joins the other
No matter how brave or strong or tall
And one by one along the way
Throughout each night and everyday
The hungry beast consumes and feeds
a continual feast upon the fray
One by one the nations die
All hope fades and strong men cry
But never, never will it end
And so tempestuous time will fly
From this bleak hour and all hereby
Thread by thread unravels time
And evermore does man subside
While, thread by thread, unravels time
By enmity's hammer, all are humbled
One by one the numbers fall
The standing fight as wounded crawl
But how quickly one joins the other
No matter how brave or strong or tall
And one by one along the way
Throughout each night and everyday
The hungry beast consumes and feeds
a continual feast upon the fray
One by one the nations die
All hope fades and strong men cry
But never, never will it end
And so tempestuous time will fly
From this bleak hour and all hereby
Thread by thread unravels time
And evermore does man subside
While, thread by thread, unravels time
