Never let time slip through your hands,
Or let yourself be pinioned on the rack –
Uncork the hourglass and loose the sands.
The curious adventurer withstands
The easy lure of running with the pack.
Never let time slip through your hands.
If you feel bound by smothering bands
Pick up a weapon and attack,
Uncork the hourglass and loose the sands.
With courage your experience expands.
Enter the lists of life, enjoy the craic,
Never let time slip through your hands.
Throughout the meretricious lands
Complacent cities you must sack,
Uncork the hourglass and loose the sands.
The philosophic striver understands
The need to follow an uncharted track.
Never let time slip through your hands;
Uncork the hourglass and loose the sands.
