Clock of Life (Clock of Life 9) - Conrad Mortiss

The clock of life ticks one tick at a time
It ticks on
Tick tock tick tick tick
Boots covered by the town streets dust where shadows stalk
And dangers are unknown
Blank boards creek with the whispering groan
Spurs jingle softly with each step
But you know that you're not alone
You ride your own
From town to town dangers abound
But you go on
Big iron on your hip and a rifle at hand
Staying out of trouble is the name of the game
Tick tock tick tock tick tick
Step by step by step you go on
Death is certain the time unknown
A winding trail you can't rewind
The steps of death are close behind the clock
Tick song
Tick tock tick tock tick tock
You move on
You go on on the train of time
The sun dips low as it sets the sky on fire
Each breath feels heavy
Each mile feels higher
A crow calls out like a mournful hymn
A coyote sings it's lullaby
In the darkness of the night
The air grows cool as the light grows dim
The shadows grow
What hides in them is unknown
It may be benign but there could be lurking harm
Tick tock tick tock tick tick
Step by step by step you go on
Death is certain the time unknown
A winding trail you can't rewind
The steps of death are close behind the clock
Tick song
Tick tock tick tock tick tock
You move on
You go on on the train of time
Tick tock tick tock tick tick
Time won't stop
It won't even slow down
The hands keep moving round and round
Every minute whispers clear
The end could be far
The end could be near
You do not know when or where death may appear
Tick tock tick tock tick tick
Step by step by step you go on
Death is certain the time you do not know
A winding trail you can't rewind
The steps of death are close behind the clock
Tick song
Tick tock tick tock tick tock
