Placed the clock, only to let it fall and shatter into twelve pieces
(Since childhood)
The clock's hands have been our cradle rocking us gently
(Intention)
Now although broken it's judgment remains infinite
(From it's womb we're born)
Swinging everyday, swinging back & forth
Like the pendulum of sorrow, swings in the storm
Swinging everyday, swinging back & forth
Like the pendulum of sorrow, into the shore
I stay, adrift in thy slumber
Divine ways, lent me this lore
Until I...
Wake
With his last breath he whispered
I, witnessed the rise and fall
Of emperors who ruled with an iron fist
Kingdoms of solid gold
Home lies beyond the waves beyond the snakes
Hope lies beyond the slaves beyond slavery crowds
Home lies beyond the waves beyond the snakes
Hope lies beyond the slaves beyond the slavery crowds
