TARTAREX
(Klaus Ebert/Horst Ebert)

Tartarex could keep the time from going.

Since I met him, time `s been running
Through my fingers just like sand
That the sea is taking from my hand.
Ahh, well, I gotta find a way.
Greedy wild sea, all I do feel
Is that I will never save
Just one sandgrain from your roaring wave.
Ahh, well I gotta find a way.
     Tartarex was the so called “Rex Temporis”, or if
     you prefer: “King of Time”. He lived at my side
     from 112 a.C. until 1962. The he left. Left me
     standing in the eager sea of time trying to hold
     my share of sandgrains in the hand. But I realize
     I won`t be able to save even one golden grain.
I intend to be like Tartarex.
Just to hold the time like Tartarex.
Just to hold the time like Tartarex.
