King Of Life (Time)

Greets us
watches us
walks with us
gives us
takes from us
knows us
lets us

blue moon
on soft cotton

king of life

shapes us
plays us
our friend
our enemy
our paradise
our evil
every step
every secret
tomorrow
today
yesterday
this moment

we study time
It never changes
we wait wait wait

Roses in waterless vases
 
it eats us
we need more
we wanna slow it down
speed it up
time machines
time awards
time
time
time

king of life

moon shining through my window
cool breeze carrying the sound
of crickets

on my knees I whisper

now I lay me down to sleep
soul
save
me
take me with your wings

where roses
live forever
uncut
undying
let me
build a home
for my family
for my friends
let me the ultimate indulgent

forever.
