The clock is ticking—Listen
A fadded voice pleas
"Everything ends"
A burning sun must soon descend
The night is a shining sea
The clock is ticking—Listen
An old fluttering leaf ascends
Dried and broken as can be
Everything ends
Withered hearts can't mend
Oh, the loses they have seen!
The clock's tick is slowing—Listen
Melancholy ticks grow distant
A dreaded time is nearing
Everything ends
Oh, the inevitable end
They live, they die, they bleed
The clock has stopped—Listen
Everything ends
