Mountains will crumble and temples will fall, and no man can survive its endless call. What is it?

Common Wrong Answers
“Earthquake”
An earthquake can cause mountains to crumble and temples to fall, but it is a specific event rather than a continuous force like time.
“War”
While war can lead to destruction and loss of life, it is not an endless force in the same way that time is, which continues perpetually.
“Age”
Age is a concept related to time, but it does not encapsulate the broader and more abstract nature of time itself, which is constantly moving forward.
