Have you begun to grasp That life is not a clock But an hourglass? Are you prepared? Is your rat-nest in order? Will your mind be at ease When the shadows grow taller? Hopeless odds The game is fixed See death tear down the playground A knife in the throat Just to see if it fits See life sneak out through the Devil´s hatch Blazing scythe - book of lies Scissors beats paper Orb of flies - throne of mice Shovel beats sceptre Hopeless buds The soil is sick See reason reach for the tinderbox A modest flame And a bundle of sticks All flesh is grass when the ashes call Mouths of dirt - angel birth Tombstone beats feather Wall of urns - crown of worms Shovel beats sceptre Has it dawned on you yet? Have you begun to grasp That life is not a clock But an hourglass? Are you prepared? Is your rat-nest in order? Will your mind be at ease when the shadows grow taller? Your days are numbered No matter what you´ve been told So, stop now and consider That you´ve never been this old… Pope-less odds The throat is slit See leafed hands raise the loving cup A pale vowel From the deaconess’ lips All flesh is cash when the gavel falls Oblong box - gilded cross Coffin beats saviour Velvet knots - maggot pox Shovel beats sceptre --- #MARDUK #SHOVELBEATSSCEPTRE #MEMENTOMORI #BLACKMETAL
