Timepiece

I see the timepiece movin' on
Preacher visits me at dawn
I'm gonna have to pay my dues
I wouldn't mind, but my life I lose

Timepiece movin' with those hands
Gonna take me away
Timepiece movin' with those hands
Carry me to my grave

Timepiece says half past nine
Gonna take me away
Timepiece says half past nine
Carry me to my grave

The clock on the wall says half past nine
I pray to God, "Give me more time!"
I hear those steps movin' down the hall
As I sit in these hallowed walls
