The Time Being Lyrics

    Every day
    As you notice the sun slips away
    A strange turbulence fills the air
    Gargoyles and winged monkeys
    Descend into the city
    Their teeth are bared, their claws outstretched
    Down in the pit
    I sense the unforgiving night rain down on the overworld
    And its souls' unrest
    As the temptation fades out
    You jerk back into yourself
    As if falling from a dream
    Down comes the rain
    Hot clear rain
    Washing away our sins
    Washing away the statues of sharon stone
    Erosion of my solitude
    Begins its race
    And worms finally penetrating the warmth of my hiding place
    Slithering in the blackness
    All their coldness repels me
    I use a .45 to give them some stick
    Lightning and thunder cause the walls to shake
    And someone searching through the debris
    For the photograph of his wife
    Oh i want life
    I want it now and forever
    I want to rise up out of this chamber and clamber into the sky
