How much time?
How much time?
The clock is emotionless
Just like a mime

No mercy it will ever show
You plead and strain
But these two hands will never slow

Making exceptions for none
Time is the equalizer
Some men crushed by it
While others grow wiser

As those hands go marching on
A monotonous centripetal force

Will you recall earthly memories of purpose or those of regret
Will your deeds be celebrated
Or eager to forget

How much time?
How much time?
Your water basin running dry

How much time?
How much time?
The weight of two worlds is crushingly high

Soon the hourglass will spill
Leaving nothing but a void to fill

Darkness is inevitable
For we must eventually fall
But fear not my friend
Death claims all
