Time is a tyrant, dawns will rise
the albatross will dip his wings
to chill in rippling crests and skies
his colored dins, create white rings
I try to catch him with my stare
but he'd forsake my gaze and eyes
for he is light as light as air
an apparition way up high.
But fleeting is that moment
and ephemeral it all is
computer graphics quickly spent
or a wine's effervescent fizz
For time's a tyrant, martinet!
don't let him catch you by surprise
he'll always win the argument
his downsized look's all just disguise.

Time is a tyrant - dawns will rise,

for he is light, as light as air,
an apparition way up high.
But oh fleeting is that moment
and ephemeral it all is,
computer graphics quickly spent,
or the grape’s effervescent fizz
For time's a tyrant, martinet!!
don't let him catch you by surprise
he'll always win the argument
his downsized look's all mere disguise.
