One chime rings out across the land
Taking his children up in his hands
Two chimes vibrate through the hills
Commanding the mountains to stand tall and still
Three chimes scream down in the valleys
Smiling at the grass, their dance makes him happy
Four chimes sing to the forest and trees
Saying to them "Stand tall and be free"
...click...
Five chimes ring out across the schools
Telling the children "Be safe"
Six chimes vibrate through the parks
Telling the children "Go play"
Seven chimes scream through children's ears
Exclaiming "I'm teaching you"
Eight chimes sing in the children's hearts
To comfort and reassure too
...click...
Nine chimes scold the murderers
Sending a chill down their spines
Ten chimes Stop the soldiers' march
So fear can creep up from behind
Eleven chimes warn the devoted wives
"Your husband is going to lose his life!"
Twelve chimes tell the people to fear
Clocks may speak, but they do not hear
Tick tock
