Watchmakers Dial

The Watchmaker's Dial - Greg Graffin

Oh yonder stands the prophet

Words are music to our ears

But down among the sinners

Only pain and sweat and tears

Oh 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

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
