► Lyrics ◄

Has it dawned on you yet?
Have you begun to grasp
That life is not a clock
But an hourglass?

Are you prepared?
Is your rat-nest in order?
Will your mind be at ease
When the shadows grow taller?

Hopeless odds
The game is fixed
See death tear down the playground

A knife in the throat
Just to see if it fits
See life sneak out through the Devil´s hatch

Blazing scythe - book of lies
Scissors beats paper
Orb of flies - throne of mice
Shovel beats sceptre

Hopeless buds
The soil is sick
See reason reach for the tinderbox

A modest flame
And a bundle of sticks
All flesh is grass when the ashes call

Mouths of dirt - angel birth
Tombstone beats feather
Wall of urns - crown of worms
Shovel beats sceptre

Has it dawned on you yet?
Have you begun to grasp
That life is not a clock
But an hourglass?

Are you prepared?
Is your rat-nest in order?
Will your mind be at ease
when the shadows grow taller?

Your days are numbered
No matter what you´ve been told
So, stop now and consider
That you´ve never been this old…

Pope-less odds
The throat is slit
See leafed hands raise the loving cup

A pale vowel
From the deaconess’ lips
All flesh is cash when the gavel falls

Oblong box - gilded cross
Coffin beats saviour
Velvet knots - maggot pox
Shovel beats sceptre
