SLICE OF TIME
Lyrics by Moira Murphy

Verse 1
My wild heart grieves
Seeing how the night leaves
Shadows from my sight.
Verse 2
My hands become granite
placed in the light velvet
Touch I lost in dark.

Pre-Chorus
Like the distant static of memory,
Like the ghost touch sensory…
Chorus
The light, it drives the hellhounds away
If I can hold it;
Time, it drives a blade through the voices,
Cutting through words and through dreams.
Time is a sword, a sword.

Verse 3
My wild heart cries
Blindness in cruel light,
For I’m wounded by day.
Verse 4
My hands become stone.
No more fire in my bones,
Left cursed by this mark.

Pre-Chorus
Like the distant static of memory,
Like the ghost touch sensory…
Chorus
The light, it drives the hellhounds away
If I can hold it;
Time, it drives a blade through the voices,
Cutting through words and through dreams.
Time is a sword, a sword.

Final Chorus + Vocalise + Tag
The light, it drives the hellhounds away
If I can hold it;
Time, it drives a blade through the voices,
Aah–
Time is a sword, a sword.
Time is a sword, a sword.
