It rules over every kingdom,
Every man in every land;
It reigns supreme over all things,
Against it none shall stand.

There are those devoted to it,
Around it decisions are based;
There are some who will oppose it,
But none can withstand the race.

It can slay a tiny ant
Or crumble solid stone;
It can wither plants away
Or dematerialize human bone.

Legions of armies will always fall,
Kings will come and go;
Legends will someday fade away
But Time will always flow.
