I see the church, the town of Edinboro A tower of memories, of love and sorrow I remember the past as I was a child Dreaming of God and trying to fly I climb the stairs straight to the top Thinking and screaming about such lowly lot I know for death who comes for me But in my mind I cannot see
[Chorus:] Hours of Fate are in me neck I feel the scythe of time and there’s no way back
I put my head out through the window Watching the people on the streets below And I forgot the tower’s clock A lonely prison what a shock I feel the pointer cut into my flesh I lost an eye and blood runs down my neck I see my head falling down from the tower I know I’m dead and I lost me power
[Chorus:] Hours of Fate are in me neck I feel the scythe of time and there’s no way back
