The Clock


Tick, tock, tick, tock

 

Patiently waiting, as moments occur among the living

Human beings striving for eternity searching without a ceiling

 

Tick, tock, tick, tock

 

What are we waiting for then?

If something is coming please answer when?

 

Tick, tock, tick, tock

 

The delay for this event fuels my hatred for procrastination

It’s said that this event will be the answer to life’s situation

That after this event there will be no more crying, hunger nor pain

Now here’s the question: When will I be able to obtain

 

Tick, tock, tick, tock

 

How many more? Tell me how many more?

How much more in this life must i endure?

 

Tick, tock, tick, tock

 

As time passes by my experience gradually multiplies,

More death, more regrets, more violence, more lies

 

I feel like I’m ready to explode any second under all of this pressure

I’m a bomb in my head counting down the time i have to measure

 

3...., 2…, 1…, I am about to go, BOOM !

But i can’t let these thoughts win because the enemy is waiting for my doom

 

My soul, continually fighting in those heavy battles

But I become overwhelmed when the battlecry rattles

 

Tick, tock, tick, tock

 

Time is running out and I still can’t find a way

In a world filled with lies, is there still truth today?

Engulfed in darkness, a nocturnal only awake at night

I need the way, the truth and something to be my light

 

Tick, tock, tick, tock

 

Sin: The spiritual disease that infects us all

It leads to death, after it caused man to fall

 

Jesus I need you before my clock runs out of time
