| Time's voice is just His words ring true For as the past recedes | B |
| The clear eyed Future slowly writes the story of its deeds | B |
| And as Time toward the Infinite his ceaseless flight is winging | C |
| He shall go singing | C |
| The hymn of hate of men and gods for all your deeds of lust | D |

| That strident voice of yours | F |
| Shall hush to silence soon or late | A |

| Oh boastful wicked land that once was beautiful and great | A |
| How desolate and dark must be your self invited fate | A |
| While Time goes down the centuries and sings his hymn of hate | A |
