ten thousand years
marking out time
what will it see?
as the years tick away?

a pulse is beating deep in the heart of a mountain, measuring five kinds of time
(10,000 years from now and you’re still here, you will outlast us all)
each time it chimes it plays a different melody, how many tunes/songs does it know?
(10,000 years from now and you will never once repeat yourself)

10,000 years (10,000 years)
marking out time (as the years go by)
what will it see? (10,000 years)
as the years and the decades tick by

mechanical multi-millennial monument, hundreds of feet through the earth
(500 foot tall architectural subterranean edifice)
pendulum, solar-synchronisation, making dynamical time
(eighty-six thousand four hundred seconds charted every day)

10,000 years (10,000 years)
marking out time (as the years go by)
what will it see (10,000 years)
as the decades and centuries tick by

i can’t imagine the future, but i know i’m part of a story
are we being good ancestors?
titanium pendulum
shielded by quartz class
sapphire cupola
high molybdenum
stainless steel mechanism
ceramic ball-bearings

10,000 years (10,000 years)
marking out time (as the years go by)
what will it see? (10,000 years)
as the years tick away

as the decades and centuries tick by

as the years and the decades and centuries and millennia tick by

- i am the manic whale
