Well this one looked like a real pain, so I thought I'd try it.
I'm going to create it here, so these initial posts will just be random thoughts.

Salamander, beneath the earth
Crawling through decay and wasting
Time, to blind, to see
The blur of the clock hands
Trapped by their momentum
Faithless
Faithless
Faithless
You are the Salamander
Except to breed and sow your seed
Attuned to the rain

Oh boy... it's going to be interesting to watch this take shape. Although... critiquing Nick is a bit like correcting the prof.

I second both of those sentiments
Nice to see you back again Nick!
Bob :wink:
You are what you eat, eat well
Nice cheery picture you have there Nick :wink: Doughnut like use of the words, looking to see what becomes of this collection of "random thoughts". I especially like the "clock hands trapped by their momentum" line.
I assume the Faithless part is the chorus - Good simplicity there (simple lyrics are the hardest for me to write personally)- naturally it needs some more backup from verses.
I also assume you meant to say "too blind" and not "to blind". If you didn't, then that will need some explaining, and by your own rules you'll have to re-write.
Anyway, good to see you Dr. Nick. Can't wait for you to school us again!

hah, you all give me too much credit. Still chugging along
I see the signs you've been here
Crawling through decay
Wasting time too blind to see
the blur of clock hands on their way
Trapped by their momentum
Digging up the dirt
We deceive and can't believe
That what we loved we only hurt
Salamander

We are the salamander
I see the ugly trail
