My torture is my waiting pain
the ticking of the clock is driving me insane
the minutes seem to drag on by
can't the end speedily come neigh?

The suspense is killing me
to walk out of the darkness and finally see
the sway of the pendulum is sleep lulling
time is continually crawling

My breathing slows
and the darkness grows
finally rest from life's pain
that is till I wake again
sleep.
