Wolfsprojekt - When the clock stopped ticking Lyrics

In the calm before the dawn
Whispers lingered, shadows drawn
A world cloaked in innocence
Unknowing of the coming tense

Minutes slipping, seconds fade
In the silence, fears parade
History poised on the brink
As the hour hand begins to sink

When the clock stopped ticking
And the sky turned to night
Silent screams, hearts sinking
In the absence of the light

Children playing in the streets
Unaware of fate's cruel feats
As the hands approach the hour
Darkness falls with unseen power

Echoes in the quiet air
Foretelling of a world laid bare
In the stillness, whispers dread
As the moment hangs like lead

When the clock stopped ticking
And the world held its breath
In the wake of secrets hidden
In the grasp of certain death

Shadows lengthen, time unravels
History's pages turn to gravel
In the silence, echoes scream
Of shattered dreams and broken seams

Amidst the ruins, hearts cry out
In the aftermath, there's no doubt
That the scars of war run deep
Leaving wounds that may never sleep

Let the world heed this solemn plea
Wars are chains, not meant to be
In the ashes, let us find
The resolve to leave hatred behind

When the clock stopped ticking
And the world held its breath
In the wake of secrets hidden
In the grasp of certain death

When the clock stopped ticking
And the birds fell from the sky
In the stillness, hearts are breaking
As we ask the question, "why?"

In the echo of that moment
Lies a tale we cannot erase
When the clock stopped ticking
And the world lost its place
