Somewhere In Time

An unforeseen future
Nestled somewhere in time
Unsuspecting victims
No warnings
No signs
Creeping along the sides

Tick tock
Tick tock
The bells run off
And the clocks stand still

The ground shakes 
And the sea roars
These are the powers of time

Hour and minute hands
Ticking away
Each second that goes by
Something happens
A new life is born
A life is lost

Let us join
Hand in hand
And hope that time
Will be on our side
