Analysis of Timepeace
Time rides the wind
Like a moaning ghost,
I am certain in siege
And time, in constant boast;
Time rides the wind
Like all children's laughter,
Always meaning good-bye
And never ever after...
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock,
My heart is a clock
Someday it will stop
I must leave it behind
All because of time..
Time rides the wind,
Like a fore and aft sail
Though my life, the ship,
My soul will prevail...
