Time passes by
Into here its silent cry
Fled far below
Our sands are running slow

Night after night
Watching the days go by
Sand turned to stone
The centuries alone

White of my eye
Sees not what does rely
Silenced again
Knows not what slips away

Line after line
Verses misplaced by time
Let them remain
Nor rearrange

Father, father, father
What will I do?

Can you tell, can you tell the time?
???
Can you try to release the spell?
??? a thousand bells
Can you tell, can you tell the time?
Double time to release my mind
Can you tell, can you tell the time?
Is there any time for me to find?

Father, father, father
What will I do?

Regret, father clock
It reads four seconds fast
But still, Not enough time to matter
the same ancient face it frowns back at the past
Many revolutions after

Your time is up
