Arise, arise and follow me

as best you can

Come follow me, my measured dance

Come see my circus, come dice with chance

Now you are come beneath my sway

Who once was as the daylight gay

Here's rights and wrongs

and reasons why

A time to live

A time to die



I was your slave, now you are mine

I am Time, I am Time.



Experience will teach you what you may

and what you may not do

I'll teach you to forget the truths

you always knew

See what might be,

See what might have been

Though you yourself created me,

Your own mistake has set me free



I was your slave, now you are mine

I am Time, I am Time.
