The Clockmaker's Curse Songtext
von Taken

Long ago in the town of Breh
The councilor summoned my name
Asking for my work as a clockmaker
A wonder to behold
Which made me endure forever
One night, sleeping, I was kissed by a muse

A clock to measure the universe
The moon and sun united in the sky
Lungs burning to the death, they grinned
When its main symbols my grandest pride

Finally my work was finished
There was no one who could believe
The mechanisms created by my own hands
The mayor terrified
Of someone hiding again
A shadow visited the place where I lived


They beat me until I passed out
The countless threads of iron burned my eyes
This man of the sword beat me but was not my type
I still had one last drive

Houses on fire (Houses on fire)
Were my reward (Were my reward)
I met perfection and pain was all I got back
This magic wonder made me blind forever
My desire for revenge

Houses on fire (Houses on fire)
Were my reward (Were my reward)
I met perfection and pain was all I got back
This magic wonder made me blind forever
My desire for...
Houses on fire (Houses on fire)
Were my reward (Were my reward)
I met perfection and pain was all I got back
This magic wonder made me blind forever
My desire for revenge

I crawled inside the heart of the clock
To make my final strike
Removed the centerpiece of my work
And cursed the night forever
