Pandora’s Clock
Watch out, watch out
It’s pandora's clock
It’s pandora's clock
Where time just stops
And we repeat and repeat
Until the world gets lost
Don’t ever go near pandora's clock.
We preach and teach about self-righteous men
Who entrapped their enemies
Who slaughtered their kin.
We emulate and segregate
We diminish and hate.
We build up a lie
To make our weakness seem great.
Watch out, watch out
It’s pandora's clock
It’s pandora's clock
Where time just stops
And we repeat and repeat
Until the world gets lost
Don’t ever go near pandora's clock.
Something isn’t right about going back in time
To fix something broken
Or to straighten out a line.
We made love like teenagers
When we were in our prime
We took every coincidence
As a powerful sign
We die in timeless loops of fate
We die in timeless loops of fate
We die in timeless loops of fate
We’re spiraling into a form of devil’s flock
Let’s wind this up before it’s too late.
And never go near pandora's clock.
