This is the only track on the album that credits all 4 members of the band. It’s about how time can slip by, but many people do not realize it until it is too late. Roger Waters got the idea when he realized he was no longer preparing for anything in life, but was right in the middle of it at the ag...
Time Lyrics
[Part I: Time]
[Instrumental Intro w/ Clocks 00:00-02:19]
[Verse 1: David Gilmour]
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
[Chorus: Richard Wright]
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
[Instrumental Break 03:19-04:46]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2: David Gilmour]
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
[Chorus: Richard Wright]
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
[Part II: Breathe (In the Air) [Reprise]]
[Outro: David Gilmour]
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

The idea in “Time” is a similar exhortation to “Breathe.” To be here now, this is it. Make the most of it.

The last lines any religious connotation?
They definitely hint at the notion of a transcending gathering of any kind. The “bell” and “faithful” evoke christian churches while the “magic spells” seem to reside in more pagan beliefs.
