The hour is striking
So close above me
So clear and sharp
That all my senses ring with it
I feel it now
There's a power in me
To grasp and give shape to my world
I know that nothing
Has ever been real
I thought my beholding it
Unbecoming has made me
By looking I bend things
And they contort me
To mint and be mints
The hour is striking
So close above me
