Nothing Daunted

Ticking, that insane sound
 We dance to the running of hours
 Programmed moments passing by
 Tighten the knot around our time 

Fortunes slipping, ignoring despair
 Generations deny their collapse
 Staring up the gallows pole
 To once more sigh in relief 

So silent the breath of a dead man
 So silent we don't want to hear
 Just grin back at fate when it's smiling
 The headsman won't forget 

Expectations constitute the failures
 As we pray to have the world
 Programmed figures passing by
 On their ceaseless hunt to conquer life
 Wealth at the steps of the blind
 Seeking on both sides 

All clung to the ropes
 Failing two feet down
 We refuse to drown in the sand
 And make decisions of no avail
 Staring up with arrogance
 To play the fool nothing daunted 

So silent the breath of a dead man
 So silent we don't want to hear
 Laughing at those who we left behind
 Just can't get enough of the ride 

Ticking, that insane sound
 We dance to the running of hours
 Programmed moments passing by
 Tighten the knot around our time 

Fortunes slipping, ignoring despair
 Generations deny their collapse
 Staring up the gallows pole
 To once more sigh in relief 

All clung to the ropes
 Falling two feet down
 No need to flee, they have found us
 Praying to have it all
