Time is Ticking Down
_Tick. _
_Tick. _
_Tick. _
_Tick. _
You hear the time tick down
Its sand a silken gown
Sand’s hands are wrapped around
Your ever-thinking crown
_Tick. _
The sound infests your mind
_Tick. _
A never-ending sign
_Tick. _
That one day you will die
_Tick. _
And your life will be mine
_Tick. _
It’s growing faster still
_Tick. _
_Tick. _
As time does drink its fill
_Tick. _
_Tick. _
And sand will overspill
_Tick. _
_Tick. _
As fish will rot their gills
_Tick. _
The arrows racing through
_Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick _
And your heart beats in tune
_Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick _
You’re spilling out blue rue
_Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick _
It will be over soon.
