The Ancient Pendulum

I introduce myself
I am the Clock
the Ancient Pendulum
I swing and kick again
I count the seconds, the minutes, the hours
I count your days
Give me the charge
don't make me stop
of your life
I am the pulse
My banner
myriads of crosses
people coming
people going
There is no present, past, future
it's your time for you
my dance for me
I'm the gun barrel
I count the turns of that drum
Who'll get the next shot?
