Wake to the creaks and groans Of the motors and the masts On the sovereign sea
Trinkets of shrieking bone Tainted tokens of a past Come to trouble me
Out of time I go running As you’re running out of time Storming forth I return from the nothing I am back to reclaim what’s mine
Cast into darkest voids Ever waiting for the chime Of the hand at two Clots of a heart destroyed Circulating in the blind As they stand with you
Out of time I go running As you’re running out of time Storming forth I return from the nothing I am back to reclaim what’s mine
Keep the clocks a running Keep every hammer drumming Time will open the doors Keep the clocks a running Keep every hammer drumming I’m coming back to the fore Set the wheels I’m coming back to the fore
Clockworks click and they clink within Locks and riddles of rings will spin Cogwheels linking the springs and pins The walls are closing in
And I have been to some bad, bad places Taken gifts at the darkest shrines I have seen despair in the saddest faces Now I’m back to reclaim what’s mine
Keep the clocks a running Keep every hammer drumming Time will open the doors Keep the clocks a running Keep every hammer drumming I’m coming back to the fore Set the wheels I’m coming back to the fore
There’s a whalesong drifting over the shores Set the wheels I’m coming back to the fore
