Father Time’s Grandfather Clock Songtext
von Gonemage

I was tied to the pendulum
Inside the cavernous cabinet
Of a gargantuan grandfather clock
My senses overwhelmed

It was flooding with water
The ropes began to swell
Father Time was a demon
Licking tears and sweat from my face

I told myself I was no Houdini
Though I couldn′t help but notice
I wasn't fighting it
I wasn′t fighting it
I wasn't fighting it
I wasn't fighting it

The wood unfamiliar to any earthly origin
The sound of water pooling


It was flooding with water
The ropes began to swell
Father Time was a demon
Licking tears and sweat from my face

It was flooding with water
The ropes began to swell
Father Time was a demon
Licking tears and sweat from my face

Leaving only my face exposed
The texture and scent of his tongue
Like burning wood and charcoal
Humidity increasing
Heartbeat pounding
I can′t escape
I won′t escape
I can't escape
I won′t escape
