There's a car that's just pulled up, Inside is the Ticking Man, his face Dripping sweat and tears With excitement, fear and adrenaline, He's feeling ready, it's his time, Just a few more minutes, seconds, Until the act of ultimate selfish sacrifice Blows a hole in time itself, There's just a few minutes now Before he triggers it. 11:05:40 The Ticking Man is looking around, He's seeing faces of children, women, elderly, All of them people, all of them still ticking, He only sees traitors to the cause, Obstacles in the way of his release Into heaven And he'll release these people too: That child with the lollipop, That woman with the pram, But only when the right time comes. 11:05:50 It's very close now, His victory is nearby, He's ready to take the plunge into the Abyss And show the world his cause, his truth, Tick, tock, tick, tock, The time is at hand, The crowd is oblivious, His trembling finger pushes the button, His bomb is triggered 11:06:00 And the Ticking Man
Ceases to tick.
