Wonder, wonder, how I wonder

Amongst this fallen world

Ponder, ponder, how I ponder

To whom should take this toll

Slowly, slowly, each soul, slowly

Has life dripping thin

Only, only, shall your glass only

Tell you what's to happen

Waiting, waiting, I sit here waiting

On my throne of bones and gold

Waiting, waiting, your hourglass is waiting

For your sand to fall down old

And now, and now, look what's happened now

A glass has emptied its top

And now, and now, I'm summoned now

To collect what Death has got
