The Clockmaker's Intention Songtext
von Byzantine

The headstone forever reads "life is tedious..."
My impression lives on as an example of pain
As sand escapes I see so clearly
A reminder to all that we are flawed just the same

I can barely breathe in this night so cold
We witness the passing of life by the marks alone
They guide the way

And now I vanish away just like vapor
The brevity never to regain again
The intricate gears I piece together
Can never replace what I lack within


I can barely breathe in this night so cold
We witness the passing of life by the marks alone
They guide the way

You′ll never witness me at a funeral
For I have already mourned the loss
We represent the smallest dent in the narrative
And time it waits for no one

The alchemy of time is completed now
To be served in the guise of a silent machine

The alchemy of time is completed now
To be served in the guise of a silent machine

I can barely breathe in this night so cold
We witness the passing of life by the marks alone
They guide the way
