The Pendulum Swings

[Verse]
The clock it groans in the shadowed hall
Its hands crawl slow like a dying thrall
A candle flickers
Its wax tears fall
Who will rise
Who will fall?

[Chorus]
The pendulum swings
It cuts through the air
A silent hymn
A whispered despair
Doom in the rhythm
Fate in the glare
We breathe the weight of a world unfair

[Verse 2]
The iron chains sing a mournful tune
Under the gaze of a blood-red moon
The hourglass breaks
Spilling sand too soon
No sun
No bloom
Just ruin

[Prechorus]
The earth it groans
The sky stands still
Time is a blade
It bends no will

[Chorus]
The pendulum swings
It cuts through the air
A silent hymn
A whispered despair
Doom in the rhythm
Fate in the glare
We breathe the weight of a world unfair

[Bridge]
Echoes of steel in the dungeon's breath
Footsteps of kings
Now bound to death
Ravens they circle
The feast is set
The end has come
But not just yet
