There was on the wall
A rounded face
For whom the hours were numbered
He, passing the time
Monotonous
Dreaming of hours remembered

Round and round again
Never stopping
Never ceasing at his workings
For him the time is
Nothing, nothing
But the second hand he’s jerking

But when the time runs out
Stops his ticking
No funeral for this good friend
He is but replaced
By another
Time more important is than death

A sorry mistake
on a pure white page
An ugly scar
on a beautiful face
A blemish
that must be erased.

A mishap
brought into the world by man
A turn of the tides
a slip of the hand
A pitiful child
cursed to be banned.

Now it’s removed
there’s an empty space
But it’s left a mark
a tiny trace
A blood-stained reminder
you can’t escape
The revenge
of the erased.

Enclosed in grey stone
    cavern walls
Stretching to the
    ceiling, tall
Archaic, ancient
    lonely hall
Seems to be
    forgot by all

All but one
    who sits alone
In his dismal
    dreary home
No more the land
    will he roam
Forever embraced
    by arms of stone

What happened?
What went wrong? Oh
                      if I only knew…
One day we were
                     one soul, one heart
Two hearts that beat
                     as one, one beat

One sound.

But oh! the beat is
                      gone, the pace
Displaced.
The Devil took
                    the soul, my soul
Your soul is

                    somewhere

Far away.
They say that time
                   can heal a heart
But can it heal
                   a soul, my soul
Your soul is

                   somewhere

Far away.
One way
                   one way
To no return.

The earth is always turning
    always turning
        always turning
And the sun is always burning
    always burning
        always burning
And the moon is always glowing
    always glowing
        always glowing
And the plants are always growing
    always growing
        always growing
Still I drive on, going faster
    going faster
        going faster
From the scene of the disaster
    the disaster
        the disaster
From where her body lays
    body lays
        body lays
In a deep and lonely grave
    lonely grave
        lonely grave
And the teardrops how they echo
    how they echo
        how the echo
And I know it’s time I let go
    time I let go
        time I let go
For it was all just a mistake
    a mistake
        a mistake
Which caused all her bones to break
    bones to break
        bones to break
And there was nothing that could stop
    that could stop
        that could stop
Her blood continuing to drop
    to drop
        ever drop
I know the earth will always turn
    always turn
        always turn
And the sun will always burn
    always burn
        always burn
And in my heart I know
    I know
        I know
That the farther that I go
    that I go
        that I go
Then the clearer I will see
    I will see
        I will see
The sweet girl who died for me
    died for me
        died for me
And these visions they are teasing me
    teasing me
        teasing me
Like echos of my misery
    misery
        misery.
