Time is short... time is endless Time is linear but also a relative factor that moves rather unnoticed from point A to B. Time is a force not to be taken lightly.... Because time never forgets Time heals nothing... Time is a black hole that consumes energy, ambition and love... Time is dangerous! Time... quite frankly... doesn't give a shit! And above all... time is BLACK It is your ENEMY! Time is decline and decay... time is DEATH! It follow you everywhere you go until it inexorably leaves you behind Time counts your every step... every year, month, week and minute... tick tock tick tock... And when the reaper breathes you in the neck... it is there... stealing the very limited precious shares of TIME that are left... Slowly and almost unnoticed... second by second... tick tock tick tock tick tock... it continues the countdown closer to your grave... until it finally STOPS!! TIME IS BLACK!! She's the truth, o hail the Queen The universal binding seem Life and death, every second Kneel, thy majesty is present Time will lead me to my grave It never sleep...never saves The queen of time rules us all Will see us rise, will see us fall TIME IS BLACK... BLACK AS THE SUN TIME IS BLACK... BLACK AS WINE BLACK AS TIME BLACK AS TIME
