the 12th hour

Singer:sirenia

clock is ticking

won't stop tricking me

the clock is ticking

time pass away

now tomorrow is yesterday

life is slipping through my hands

no one cares

no one understands

can't you see that time

becomes our foe

time stares you right into the eye

with an ice cold heart and a grinning smile

can't you see that life

becomes our woe

time pass by careless and vile

so treacherous

deceiving and guile

time is the enemy

unseen

planing its tricks on me

foresee

won't ever let me be

you see

cunning eternally

leave me be

the hours pass by faster each day

weeks and months just waste away

year by year i feel more deprived

thirty nine and barely alive

can't you see that time

becomes our foe

time stares you right into the eye

with an ice cold heart and a grinning smile

can't you see that life

becomes our woe

time pass by careless and vile

so treacherous

deceiving and guile

would you still be right by my side

the moment our worlds collide

would you be mine until the end

and again

can't you see that time

becomes our foe

time stares you right into the eye

with an ice cold heart and a grinning smile

can't you see that life

becomes our woe

time pass by careless and vile

so treacherous

deceiving and guile

we all fall apart

like crumbling towers

at wits end

the gate is near

soon i will be out of here

there is no time left

this is the twelfth hour

my days are done

my time is here

cross my heart and have no fear
