This land today, shall draw its last breath
 And take into its ancient depths
 This frail reminder of its giant, dreaming self.
 While I, with human-hindered eyes
 Unequal to the sweeping curve of life,
 Stand on this single print of time.

 Human wheels spin round and round
 While the clock keeps the pace.
 Human wheels spin round and round
 Help the light to my face.

 That time, today, no triumph gains
 At this short success of age.
 This pale reflection of its brave and
 Blundering deed.
 For I, descend from this vault,
 Now dreams beyond my earthly fault
 Knowledge, sure, from the seed.

 Human wheels spin round and round
 While the clock keeps the pace.
 Human wheels spin round and round
 Help the light to my face.

 This land, today, my tears shall taste
 And take into its dark embrace.
 This love, who in my beating heart endures,
 Assured, by every sun that burns,
 The dust to which this flesh shall return.
 It is the ancient, dreaming dust of God.

 Human wheels spin round and round
 While the clock keeps the pace.
 Human wheels spin round and round
 Help the light to my face.
 Human wheels spin round and round
 While the clock keeps the pace.
 Human wheels spin round and round
 Help the light to my face.
