Tick tock tick tock

By the hands of the clock

I feel my life

Just slipping away

I feel your hands

Rested into mine

You lead the way

Cause we will dance

For the rest of time

Just you and I

Fool Death, my playmate

I told you I can't stay late,

Somebody's waiting up for me

I'm giving you till the count of three

Wait one second, just three steps more

Keep on the count, one two three four,

Chassé, piqué, with a relevé

I danced with death almost all day

We waltzed down the ailses of shopping malls

We danced to the sound of telephone calls

Weaved through the streets without a stall

Death and I were the Bell of the ball

When you have, one of those days,

Where you could, just declare the end,

Reinforcements, are on their way,

Make the most, of the time you spend,

Your soul is bogged down

And you want to explode

You want to give up

Cause you lost all control,

Let go of the wheel

Just to cover your face,

You've made a mistake

Now it's time to erase,

Start up a new,

And put on some new shoes,

This is the you

That you want to improve,

You want a start fresh,

But you think you'll refuse,

It's too great a change,

There's far too much to lose,

When your life, plays you a trick,

It's a game that you have to win,

Just a puzzle, missing a piece,

Like a tutor with no one to teach

Go back from the start

And reroll the dies,

You've gone too far

So it's time to retry,

No need to cry,

I know it's a shame,

Just play again cause

Your life's a board game.

You've got the Clue for

Your Monopoly,

Get out of Trouble

And into Yahtzee,

Playing the Bingo like

It's some kind of strife,

But what can you do?

This is your game of Life.

When your life, plays you a trick,

It's a game that you have to win,

Just a puzzle, missing a piece,

Like a tutor with no one to teach

You've got the Clue for

Your Monopoly,

Get out of Trouble

And into Yahtzee,

Playing the Bingo like

It's some kind of strife,

But what can you do?

This is your game of Life

So if you think I'm fly

Then you best be believing

If you're following me

Then you're listening to reason

Because the day I die

I am flying to the kingdom

To take my throne

My rightful position

I am the lord in the flesh

Just bound by his mortal corpse

From here to bangladesh

let life take it's rightful course

Because the day I die

Is the day I spread my wings

And fly up to heaven

To become the king of kings

So if you think about it

You can't even concieve it

The lord is now among you

You can't even believe it

I was sent among you all to teach you all a lesson

Life is not a race that is filled with contestants

Life is not a wolf that is howling at the moon

This life is all your own, but it will all be over soon

Cause I am

Archetype incarnated

The truth, the lies when generated

The space between when seperated

I am the holy in disguise

Personification of the wise

True prophets never lie

But serve the world until the day they die

Rid me of sight, i want to see truth

Give me wisdom that's wasted on the youth

Follow three faiths until you reach your tomb

win life's debate or swerve to certain doom
