Wait

The clock is ticking
Tick tock, tick tock
 it goes on and on
Wait, wait and still wait
It is never early, never late
The time is coming when the 
 Alabaster seal will be removed 
  And the fragrance be released.

Wait, wait and still wait
The clock is ticking 
Tick tock, tick tock
It is never late, never early
  Just on time
When the Silver cord be loosed
 Or 
When the pitcher will be broken
  At the fountain.
Is it the grime reaper or the host of
 Heaven
The clock is ticking
Tick tock, tick tock.
