[Verse 1]

Mocking sky and sneering stars

You like to think you have sailed so far

But the waves, they blankly stare

But no one here really cares

[Chorus]

Hourglass and broken mast

With pendulums we hang the past

The armourer, he hammers steel

Into shields and cogwheels

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Hourglass and broken mast

With pendulums we hang the past

The armourer, he hammers steel

Into shields and cogwheels

[Verse 2]

Books and bodies burn

To prove we never learn

Oh the great architect

Sobs upon the burning deck

[Chorus]

Hourglass and broken mast

With pendulums we hang the past

The armourer, he hammers steel

Into shields and cogwheels

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Hourglass and broken mast

With pendulums we hang the past

The armourer, he hammers steel

Into shields and cogwheels

[Verse 3]

The devils in the crow's nest drunk and devouring stars

Below deck the cabins are full of feathers and tar

We leave the harbour, our course to plot

Full sail ahead onto the rocks
