All to time ever faster. It has become the only master [bodytext] => The land of broken clocks and dreams
The flow of times has lost its means
Steady silence bliss from hell
Hours pass with no bell

Like a painting without favor
This simple life loses flavor
The clocks hands still pressed and set
The world around becomes its pet

It hails the hours night and day
It ticks our precious life away
The hands start up and it seems to find
A world it left far behind

The clock and time is our master
The ticking grows ever faster
It kills the night and slays the day
As it ticks your life away

A world of shattered clocks and dreams
Nothing now is what it seems

The Ticking of time

The land of broken clocks and dreams
The flow of times has lost its means
Steady silence bliss from hell
Hours pass with no bell

Like a painting without favor
This simple life loses flavor
The clocks hands still pressed and set
The world around becomes its pet

It hails the hours night and day
It ticks our precious life away
The hands start up and it seems to find
A world it left far behind

The clock and time is our master
The ticking grows ever faster
It kills the night and slays the day
As it ticks your life away

A world of shattered clocks and dreams
Nothing now is what it seems
