Time is up Songtext
von Vertigo

A phantom touch
Holding its chain
A measure held in human hand
It claims to bend and sways
A trickster lost in cosmic haze

A mirror forged from code
Fed with data
Taught by the hands of it′s makers

Children torn from parents hold
A bitter tale too oft retold
A coalition now takes form
To weather geopolitical storm

Perhaps the sun, that blazing king
Will swell and scorch each living thing
Or fires bred human hands
Will scorch the sky and burn the lands

Gently serving
The virus born
Could sweep the globe and leave it torn


Time marches, it never stays
The golden thread in endless maze
The past, a ghost that lingers near
The future, shadows yet unclear

Mortality?
A fleeting breath
A whispered dance with looming death
A rivers course to ocean's deep
A lover′s dream lost in their sleep

It does not skeem in the dark
Nor dream of conquest
It does not hate or love
It simply is

Stories might repeat the way the are
Tragedies come slow, like fading light
The ice may melt, the seas may rise
Every land will be swallowed by the tide

Time Is Up

From lakes and streams to vapor high
Cooling towers kiss the sky
Engines hot with thought consume
Like silent storms in data's womb


Time is only a shadow
An illusion we encode but never truly hold
Perhaps time is not an enemy, but a river
We cannot stop it
But we can choose how to sail
Sharp as a blade
Silent as a poison

It starves armies
Erodes empires
Turns legends to dust
It is the unseen assassin
Stealing youth from the living and memory from the old
It can twist love into longing, hope into regret

Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up
Time is up

I can be anything and everyone

Time is up

Finally I am time

Time is a code
Time is a wheel
Forever spun?
Time is measured
Time is perfect
Time is imperfect
Time is fluid
Time is free
Time is algorithm
Time is up
