PASSING TIME ft. Stu & Ted Stanley Lyrics

The high priestess of vanity, she bides her time until

She whispers words I long to hear and bends me to her will

Brings me to the labyrinth, subversive and sublime

To break the shackles of the world and the passing of the time

The labyrinth has many doors, I open every one

The proud priestess indulges me, forgives her favorite one

Can I fail and fall, say I, as dizzy heights I climb

You conquer all you see, says she, and the passing of the time

Oh, oh, passing time

Oh, oh, passing time

Slips through your fingers and melts away

Oh, oh, passing time

Each door is closed behind me, so I will never find

The darker creatures of the night that follow on behind

Creatures of my conscience, seeking payment for my crime

I only see their shadows and the passing of the time

Oh, oh, passing time

Oh, oh, passing time

Slips through your fingers and melts away

Oh, oh, passing time

Night gives way to thunder and the dogs begin to howl

The golden-headed priestess huddles deep within her cowl

And rain falls from the rooftops as creatures stand in line

What happened to my dreams, say I, and the passing of the time

Passing of the time

Oh, oh, passing time

Oh, oh, passing time

Slips through your fingers and melts away

Oh, oh, passing time

All dreams have a price, says she, the time has come to pay

Humanity, integrity, and friendships on the way

We traded for your fantasies and now they wait in line

The creatures of your conscience and the passing of the time
