"Sliver Of Time" lyrics

"Sliver Of Time"

Flying away, won't ever come back
Universe movin' out, on a fast track
Seein' it now, but wait a little while
Scopes won't see out a trillion miles

Standing up high on a mountainside
Feels so close, you could touch the sky
Reach out soon, stars moving away
We'll marvel now before it's too late

No need stressin', no need at all
Won't be around to see the fall
There's no future and there's no past
Nothing we see will ever last

Sliver of time, these are the best of times
Flash of light, oh yours and mine
Expansion comes and we'll howl and cry
Yahoo yippee-yi-yay yippie-yippie-yi, hooray

Times ripping apart
Sentient end comes, then all goes dark

Cosmic expansion, eons to come
Planet engulfment, here it comes
Cosmic expansion stars die
Dark energy
Mesh lattice work of spacetime
Stars die

Extinction comes
Sliver of time, oh won't you be mine?
