Clockwork

the chain and the lock

they've been leaning on the wall

the tick and the tock

i keep hearing when they call

but who woke me up?

was my life a passing dream?

as soon as we stop

will you follow my machine?

cos we belong

to their slumber and sleep

from that darkness they will come.

to send you up

keep pulling me down

and creep behind us while we run.

to the void

of ultima deep

they will let thy kingdom come.

where the song of

that old clockwork had begun

to run its course inside my soft machine,

sleep.
