Tick tock tick tock, that's the sound of a bomb

Buried in the deepest tomb
Sacrificed with the lamb
To keep all unwanted awful things
To shut it tight with all means

Tick tock tick tock, that's the sound of a bomb

A trigger might do
A touch might reveal the hue
Of what's inside you
Shall I continue?

Tick tock tick tock, that's the sound of a bomb

Of all things kept hidden for years
To protect oneself from peers
Suppressed madness inside
All powered by ego and pride

Tick tock tick tock, that's the sound of a bomb

Time will tell the truth
Reveal itself vigorous like the youth
Go boom in a single touch
This ticking bomb, pull its clutch
