The End Of Time

We talk about time, does it exist
Or is it just a word that I can dismiss
There's a clock on the wall and it won't stop tickin
(Tickin, tickin) I try not to listen
But it dictates every little thing I do
From when I’m waking up until my day is through
And I’m always hearing that life doesn't last long
And we better get it all in before we pass on
Some people say we came from an explosion
That the door is closing, we're only decomposing
Rotting like the body of a pharoah in a lost tomb
Is that the end or is flesh and blood a costume
Cuz other folks say life lasts forever
And that we're all lost sheep looking for the shepard
Thus it's a question of time or the infinite
Who's in control and where do I fit into it
Is it all chance like the odds in Vegas
Or should we be on our knees praying God'll save us
I’ll take the rock of ages, we struggle to define
When time means nothing the end of time

[Chorus]
Time means nothing the end of time
Time means nothing the end of time

There's a clock on the wall and it won't stop tickin
There's a clock on the wall and it won't stop tickin

What if we were the only species
And we all evolved from the ocean and the deep seas
Was it part of the plan to put a heart in a man
And the capabilities to build art with his hands
Are we drifting through space untied like a shoelace
Running a race with very few who place
Hitting hyperdrive, hope we don't collide
Rolling like the Stones, time is on my side
Imagine a place with no clicks from a clock
Nowhere to jump off, no cliffs and no rocks
Fill the toll of gravity, a hole or a cavity
Let go and take control of your soul and your sanity
It's easy to do, count to twenty by twos
No need to book a flight, look left, look right
You can see the showers from the meteorites
No televisions screens and no media hype
I’ll climb Orion's belt and grab hold of his kilt
And if my grip starts to slip I can yell for help
Or I can just let go, who's with me, let's go
Gotta close your eyes and follow the echo

[Chorus]

There's a clock on the wall and it won't stop tickin
There's a clock on the wall and it won't stop tickin
End of time
