about

song no. 20! first one to feature a drawn video

lyrics

Let me tell you the tale
Of a clockmaker's fate
Who found his love at a fair
And promptly fell for her

To win her hand
(He) crafted a piece of art
Of the finest make

A music box
To play her favorite song
With the sweetest tones

She took this gift
Cherished every bit
Her heart filled with joy

They married soon
Loveliest bride and groom
It was their happiest day

When the clockwork runs
She sings for him
An eternal song
Of despair and grief

His heart stood still
When desaster struck
As she fell ill

The doctor said that
He couldn't do much
Her heart was too weak

Sorrow-stricken
He sat by her side
Lost in thoughts

A desperate idea
To construct a pump
With a clockwork to run

It had to be
The best he ever did
So he took back his gift

To keep her alive
The music box must play
All day and all night
Within her chest
