Empty hours bear down on an already heavy heart
Minute by minute, blame melds in malignant minds
The hourglass shattered
And the grain inside readily flees
As the confinement of time's lock
Presses ever harder on those obedient to the clock
And its ticking rhythm shrieks so harshly
As men bow down to so abstract an oppression
The aggression possessing the minds
Of so many confessing their instructional duties
To the swinging pendulum in synchronized time
All together now
Everyone
Please the needs of the mastering eternity
Allow all else out of body and mind
Find the ways of alarm
Charm your way into the tickers great glass
And rest there imprisoned in the arms of father time.
