Black As Time Lyrics - Psalms For The Dead - Candlemass

Time is short... time is endless 

Time is linear but also a relative factor that 

moves rather unnoticed form point A to B. 

Time is a force not to be taken lightly... 

Because time never forgets 

Time heals nothing... 

Time is a black hole that consumes energy, 

ambition and love... 

Time is dangerous! 

Time... quite frankly... doesn't give a shit! 

And above all... time is BLACK 

It is your ENEMY! 

Time is decline and decay... time is DEATH! 

It follow you everywhere you go until it inexorably 

leaves you behind 

Time counts your every step... every year, month, 

week and minute... tick tock tick tock... 

And when the reaper breathes you in the neck... 

it is there... stealing the very limited precious 

shares of TIME that are left... 

Slowly and almost unnoticed... second by second... 

tick tock tick tock 

tick tock... it continues the countdown closer to 

your grave... until it finally STOPS! 

TIME IS BLACK! 

She's the truth, o hail the Queen 

The universal binding seem 

Life and death, every second 

Kneel, thy majesty is present 

Time will lead me to my grave 

It never sleep... never saves 

The queen of time rules, will see us fall 

TIME IS BLACK... BLACK AS THE SUN 

TIME IS BLACK... BLACK AS WINE 

BLACK AS TIME
