Minutes of Doom

[Intro] Faint knocks on timber, breath held tight Creaking clockwork in the pale moonlight [Verse 1] Minutes drip like rain inside the chest Strange hum lingers, a pulse in the chest Hammering on wood keeps time with fear We hover on the edge, maybe never clear [Chorus] Minutes of doom, tighten every breath A steady drum in the hollow throat of night Hold on, hold on, we won't yield to the dread [Verse 2] Shadows press close, the air grows thin Footsteps in the attic gnaw at the skin The wood is talking, a bleak, jagged rhyme Counting the seconds until the end of time [Chorus] Minutes of doom, tighten every breath A steady drum in the hollow throat of night Hold on, hold on, we won't yield to the dread [Outro] Silence swallows the storm, but not the fear One last tick, and the night will clear
