Time Will Run Out (Song)

Time Will Run Out is a lullaby or children's song that originated during a time when boys were conscripted and sent to war as soon as they were old enough. The song does not have any official words, but each line does end with the phrase or a variant of the phrase, time will run out. The tune also remains the same for each line, but increases in pitch each time another line is sung.

Josloy mentioned the song in his journal, and said the people he met in Etnyben did not know the song. Josloy also recorded a comical version sung by Kellon.

“

If I cannot get home, time will run out.
There is much to do, until time runs out.
I must write my book, before time runs out.
Else, people won't read since my time ran out.

— Kellon
