| - | |
| 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 |
| For all your acts of cruelty and hell concocted schemes | E |
| More hideous than the darkest plot of which a devil dreams | E |
| Which sprang from your Medusa head before it touched the dust | D |
| Beneath the strangling hand of Fate | A |
| That strident voice of yours | F |
| Shall hush to silence soon or late | A |
| That Justice that endures | F |
| Will mobilise its mighty ranks and free the human race | G |
| Then shall all Space | G |
| Yea all the chains of sphere on sphere | H |
| With that loud hymn be ringing | C |
| Which Time goes singing | C |
| His far flight winging | C |
| And all the cherubims of God that dwell in regions o'er us | I |
| Shall swell the chorus | I |
| - | |
| 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 |
