Verse 1
As I gaze upon the nightly sky
I wonder if those stars are really, angles eyes
Looking down from eternity
Pleading with the hearts of all humanity

For the bells tolled ten in our distant past
From the tower of time, this story was cast
Looking back the seventh sign was there
Was a bag of silver really worth?
The rape and pillage of this earth
I cry
Verse 2
As dawn appears some glimpse our fears
As mother earth cries out with her wounded tears
She’s lashing out in fits of rage
But we the keeper’s, never see the war she’s waged

The eleventh hour has come and gone
Now is it too late, to undo this wrong?
For wounds run deep, and mother earth she bleeds
We’ve torn her skin we’ve cut the limbs
From the tree’s of life, where life begins
I cry
Refrain
The tower clock is slowly winding down (2)
Bridge
Verse 3
As I look into the setting sun
I wonder if the end has really just begun
Was our bag of silver really worth?
The killing of this place we call our mother earth

As our clock nears twelve, these angles scream
Remember your hopes; don’t forsake your dream
But the towers tale will play out till the end
And mother earth she screams in pain
To no avail for it’s all in vain
I cry
Refrain
Now the tower clock is slowly winding down (2)
