| Nothing gave birth to time | |
| Time has no birthday, no mum no dad | |
| Nobody ever taught time | |
| No social contract, moral code, no good no bad | |
| And in the dirt, in the bottle of our poor atmosphere | |
| The lesson here is never learnt | |
| You feed on dogs bodies, on carcasses of government | |
| You tongue the graft over the grief | |
| Bastard time, you give no relief | |
| But it’s said you give relief | |
| You heal the wound like a crocodile saves its victim for later | |
| What do you love? | |
| Leaves turned, woods burned, ashes then are what you love? | |
| Fraud time, child’s birthday | |
| Spring deceit, brood love | |
| Tiny feet, callous time | |
| You light the womb like a pantomime stage | |
| Give dress to plainness, cake to age | |
| And make us clowns | |
| You heal the wound like a crocodile saves its victim for later | |
| You give the cheeks a rosy hue | |
| As the lips are turning blue | |
| This is the artist in you, bastard time | |
| And you our guide to perpetual suicide | |
| But what makes you sad, what makes you tired? | |
| What says to you as you’re passing it by | |
| “Oh no, no, no, this should never have died”? | |
| To be the snake, and the sword, and the veil | |
| To author the joke and be the sting in the tail | |
| No currency can buy | |
| No tale can ever tell | |
| No thread can make a stitch in you | |
| Nor any tolling bell arrest you |
