Every waking moment,
Every fleeting second,
Every ticking minute,
Every chiming hour —
There is nothing left to hide,
There is no more time to bide,
There is nowhere else to turn —
Heavy water doesn’t burn!
Every day and weekends,
Every month of Sundays,
Every change of seasons,
Every age of reason —
There is no fight left to fight,
There is no wrong left to right,
There’s no dogma left to spurn —
Heavy water doesn’t burn!
Every passing decade,
Every turning century,
Every iron epoch,
Every golden era —
There are no more beasts to slay,
There are no more games to play,
There’s no wisdom left to learn —
Heavy water doesn’t burn!
But we drown the watches,
And we dry the matches,
And we dig the ditches,
And we lock the latches —
There is nothing else to do,
There is no one else but you,
Up above and down below
Heavy water all aglow!
There is nothing else to be,
There is no one else but me,
Morning turning into night,
Heavy water burning bright! —
Every waking moment,
Every ticking minute,
Every day and weekends,
Every change of seasons,
Every passing decade,
Every age and era…
