"The Hourglass" is Sin Kiske's battle theme and a vocal theme in Guilty Gear -Strive-, which replaces "Just Do It" from the Guilty Gear Xrd games. It was released on December 22, 2022, as a digital single.[1]
The hourglass does not turn upside down on its own
I'm looking ahead
It will work out! (Work out!)
Just go with what I feel, yeah
It will work out (Work out!)
If only I could keep running
They say, "it's all about goals and future"
And I said "nothing's sure of my life yet"
But I don't care, I don't care
Sometimes I don't think so
Yes, I know, that's why I never stop
What will be, will be (That's right!)
The hourglass does not turn upside down on its own
That much I do know
It will work out! (Work out!)
Just go with what I feel, yeah
It will work out! (Work out!)
Let's make failure my friend
Ten fights
One smile
And it all feels good
I can't explain it
But I hope you get the idea
It will work out! (Work out!)
No cool? Come on, laugh it off!
It will work out! (Work out!)
I haven't lost anything, yeah
Rain or shine
Just go with what I feel
It will work out! (Work out!)
If I only I could keep running
Work out! (Work out!)
Rain or shine
Work out! (It will work out!)
Trivia
In the bridge to the final refrain, there is a brief snippet of both "Awe of She" and "Holy Orders" played together, referencing both of Sin's parents Ky and Dizzy.
