Time - that restless Spheres
Drives -
The gravity of the world...
The flowers to fade..
Sweet passion's lie..
To cancel all our vows
From life to death - Beyond this mercenary drudge
The rewards of sin
The metaphysics of magic
These omnipotent studious Artisans
Emperors and Kings
Stretched the minds of man
To deceive ourselves...
In a world of profit and delight
A strange philosophy
Harsh, contemptible and vile
An Altar and a Church
The regents of a perpetual night
Vain fancies and despair
Our revolving door of time..
