Tick tock...
Tick tock...
How much time
Is left on your clock?

What happens when it strikes
On the witching hour...
When the clanging starts
In the old bell tower...

It’ll strike some fear
When the Grim Reaper is near...
Will your clock stop ticking
When death starts picking...

Tick tock...
Tick tock...
How much time
Is left on your clock?

You won’t hear him coming
Or the song that he’s humming...
He’ll catch you totally by surprise
With death protruding from his eyes...

Your time is finally up
When the Reaper swings...
It’s the end of your life
When the cold alarm rings...

Tick tock...
Tick tock...
Tick tock...
Tick...
