The clock announced the dead hour I felt likely to disappear The candleholder made the flames Dance and get higher Our verses are never over, althoug The end is near Dead hour Hear the distant cry Dead hour Locked in glass pipes Dead hour The toys were watching them Dead hour Take care of them, they're dead ...and twelve minutes more I asked why They told me to believe The voice sounded rough and full of hate "there are laws here, like laws among men If you do not relieve in heaven, At least hell you know is real"
