Counting down what though? The days to Christmas, or something more sinister...?

Counting down
They’re garrulous too and they talk about gods
Counting the days until they’re all gone,
Racing with Time until he nods off,
Dicing with Death until they’ve all won.

Greg - more sinister. Always go with the more sinister option when it comes to me, obviously...

Really like this stanza. Really have no idea how you're going to bring it all home with the next four entries, but I am super excited to find out :D
