Lyrics

PENDULUM SWINGS

and the pendulum swings
up a tick then down
heavy weigh the wings
which once touched heaven's crown
as the sky high hopes love brings
to this ghost town crash on down
where a vision fit for kings
leaves just one crying clown

time crushes
each and every dream
death brushes
love's canvas unredeemed
her touches
swept into the stream
and I
die
one more death between

exiled from her hills
through desert back to ice
her voice gives me the chills
"sacrifice paradise"
so dimly go the thrills
which for now I pay the price
I knew despite my skills
I was facing loaded dice

time crushes

as the pendulum swings
to the center to the ground
I ponder all these things
and remember her sad frown
it's not easy letting go
though it seems it must be so
so as it swings I bow
so low and humbly down

time crushes
