Now is the Hour by Colven Gibson

Rushing Onwards! At rocket speed

Rushing Onwards! Warp Factor 10 is what I need

Rushing Onwards! Foot to the floor

Surely I can get some more


Rushing Onwards! Why are they slowing

Has no-one told them who I am

Going slower, moving slow

Down the sliproad I must go


Ever downwards I must go

Where are all the others going

Yet again cars block my road

A lorry has gone and lost its load


Alarm! Alarm! Is flashing red

Alarm! Alarm! It blasts through my head

Forcing me to cross my bed

So I can sleep again, just a few more minute’s instead


Eyes now open, what’s the time

Oh my god! It’s after nine

Panic ensuing, there is no calm

Why did I not hear that stupid alarm
