| Lyrics |
From my armchair I look into the future, see the darkness risinga tidal wave that takes my thoughts and flood them into the paston to the shore of puzzled memories, torn and forgottennow forming just the silhouettes of a pale story I once heard.A tale about 999's last days in decemberwhen the people of Rome all gathered in the dark and coldto watch a great clock's hands ending the dial's topthousands of eyes hypnoticed by the midnight strikes.
But suddenly it stopped right inbetween - and all was silentsome people died in hopeless fear, was this the end of timeas silence burst out into madness, screams and tearswill the Four Horsemen be our fate, or panic rip out minds?
Silently the clock went on, a new millenium bornand silently the night now shows me it's oh so absolute formbut soon comes down scratching the monolith blackas slowly spreads the story's meaning in me as a zodiac sign did.
Sure I will die within few months and with me all I swallowedyet unlike thousand years ago time will not stop - I will be followedand though I wish I do not have to go - I'll give you me and my worldto be alive with you as long as you are.
It's worth signal to noise.
