You were my mentor, you were my pedagogue
I followed you, stomping my feet on the ground and the stick on the ride
And you were the master, not the bills
You pulverized crowns with your name, they called you Zeit (Zeit)
I was happy on the shore, with the summer air as a frame
Among the castles on the sand, locked in the cage of your hourglass, never free
And you held me tight like teeth in a bite
We were a great duo and I was behind you, Meg White

Chronos, time, vrémja, tiempo
Chronos, time, vrémja, tiempo, Zeit
Chronos, time, vrémja, tiempo
Chronos, time, vrémja, tiempo, Zeit

Without you, I would never be the man I am now
You said: 'Wait and see', I'm still deaf, why?
You repeat yourself a bit too much
Your virtue, Paganini, flies away, pays mini
You cross me like a blade for harakiri, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch
And your carpe diem gifts, how many other ways
Minefields and prairies on my shoes
Now UniPosca and go
You were a Rosetta stele to decipher
You've become a little phrase to recite
You deserve the Oscar, Wilde

Chronos, time, vrémja, tiempo
Chronos, time, vrémja, tiempo, Zeit
Let it pass, don't lose it
Chronos, time, vrémja, tiempo
Chronos, time, vrémja, tiempo, Zeit

(Zeit)
Tell me, Zeit, what happened to you? You can't keep up with me
You go back like Sisyphus, you can't hold the boulder
You were running out of breath, now you're losing breath, what a disaster
You look like Pilate, you're no longer a Pillar
Fathers step aside, sons become fathers
I see plastinated subjects to seem eternal
They say: 'In my time', they exclude themselves from these
As if life was a matter for twenty-year-olds
They see you, they see money, like in a tycoon
Asking about age becomes a taboo
Take off your pajamas and put on your clothes, Arthur
Witness your passage like the Maya in Cancún
I didn't think you would age like everything else
You who crumpled those old men like a bad text
I follow your traces on my body, all the time
When one day we lose Chronos, the temple will be in mourning.
