Greg Graffin - The Watchmaker's Dial lyrics
[Greg Graffin - The Watchmaker's Dial lyrics]
Oh, yonder stands the prophet
Words are music to our ears
But down among the sinners
Only pain and sweat and tears
The sermon soothes the simple but the
Rest are rapt with fear
Oh, no, too late to hold a trial
Time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial
In the best laid plans of history
Lie the ruins of the past
And a chronicle of suffering shows
The mythic pall they cast
To believe is true religion but to
See is truth at last
Oh, no, too late to hold a trial
Time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial
Time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial
Words are music to our ears
But down among the sinners
Only pain and sweat and tears
The sermon soothes the simple but the
Rest are rapt with fear
Oh, no, too late to hold a trial
Time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial
In the best laid plans of history
Lie the ruins of the past
And a chronicle of suffering shows
The mythic pall they cast
To believe is true religion but to
See is truth at last
Oh, no, too late to hold a trial
Time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial
Time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial
