the clockmaker lyrics
[verse 1]
crowds are gathered in the halls
i can hear their voices swelling +
voices raised in distant calls
do you know what tales they’re telling?
here i sit, amidst the strife
anger and confusion growing
do they wish to take my life?
end my grand schemes, all unknowing?

see them plot, see them plan
spill their blood, every man
tell me everything you know
this is how our trap will go

that young vixen i can hear
has with lies a net for fools made
and my friend, that grand old man
meekly joins her garish charade
they think that my claws arе drawn
defenses down and all forgottеn
but just wait until the dawn +
then these sleepers will awaken!

see them spy, see them scheme
is this all but a dream?
yet i know that this is true
everything i’m telling you
do you see what i have here
spread out on the desk before me?
there is nothing we need fear
though my old friends now abhor me
the drawings of this strange device
give a potent guide to follow
our lives shift twixt fire and ice
and all our past esteem rings hollow

[chorus, simultaneous with verse 1}
take this cog and this gear
lay them neatly in here
every life is just the same
drawn like moth unto the flame
every hope and every scheme
it is nothing but a dream
yet i know this pattern’s true
just as i am telling you

[chorus}
take this cog and this gear
lay them neatly in here
every life is just the same
drawn like moth unto the flame
every hope and every scheme
it is nothing but a dream
yet i know this pattern’s true
just as i am telling you
[whispered]
look! it’s a clock
