[Verse 1]

A black dawn for a black day

We have dug all our graves

All we had, we have lost

Go the sun, come the frost

Kill the field and kill the corn

Kill our children before they're born

Wake the heavens and raise the cry

As our wild goes riding by

[Chorus]

And hear the ticking of the clock

But now the ticking stopped

With the setting of the sun

Comes the beating of the drum

[Verse 2]

Everything we love has gone

Killed the forest and killed the farm

All we had, we have lost

Go the sun, come the frost

Kill the field and kill the corn

Kill our children before they're born

Wake the heavens and raise the cry

As our wild hunt comes by

[Chorus]

Hear the ticking of the clock

But now the ticking stopped

With the setting of the sun

Comes the beating of the drum

Hear the ticking of the clock

But now the ticking stopped

With the setting of the sun

Comes the beating of the drum
