Passed On lyrics

In wanton ways the watchman stood

In an effort to his paltry class

As if obediance that he should

Hold well the decisive word of pass

He bids the time to regulate his day

To measure out his repetative life

To give it meaning in his mundane way

Apportioned also with a humdrum wife

The skies pass and circle unseen might

Undaunted by individual fantasy

Yellow-clad sun and dark-blue night

The watchclock grants no amnesty

All the intentions, actions, sins

No absolution can grant in purity

Or fading fashion, the earth spins

As that passing of eons' obscurity

What was significant and vital

Deteriorates to dust unretrievable

A lasting scene of indistinct title

Grandeur gone, now inconcievable

Another anonomosity to fill the void

For a deemed typical trivial task done

Until his utility has expired unemployed

All assets drained, in duty, duped, and done
