Clocks Ticking

lyrics

Clocks ticking in the night
as we are thinking time is ticking.
Clocks ticking on our boat
we all start drinking as we are sinking.
Clocks ticking in our minds
about our lives we've tried and tried.
Stop tricking me to try and fail. Oh why oh why oh why?
Rocks rolling avalanching
as we stare blankly time is passing.
Rocks smashing blood is gashing
all the while I look dashing.
Where rocks they fall people are massing
huddled grasping soon to die.
Crashing right into our eyes
as we are blind. Oh why oh why?

When the world sank out from under
and the sea cried why oh why?
We let go of all our plunder
and let oceans steal our sight.

Underneath and overhead
these crowns keep floating off our heads.
We ignore all of what was said
with hopes we shall be heard instead.
And when the sinking day is done
we have learned nothing not a one
for what purpose has this race been run,
it's all in vain.
