Lyrics

[02:19.77] Watcher of the skies watcher of all
[02:25.13] His is a world alone no world is his own,
[02:31.41] He whom life can no longer surprise,
[02:36.41] Raising his eyes beholds a planet unknown.
[02:57.44] Creatures shaped this planet's soil,
[03:03.03] Now their reign has come to an end,
[03:08.54] Has life again destroyed life,
[03:11.78] Do they play elsewhere, do they know
[03:14.45] more than their childhood games?
[03:23.59] Maybe the lizard's shed its tail,
[03:28.69] This is the end of man's long union with Earth.
[03:56.73] Judge not this race by empty remains
[04:02.19] Do you judge God by his creatures when they are dead?
[04:08.48] For now, the lizard's shed it's tail
[04:13.89] This is the end of man's long union with Earth.
[04:28.05] From life alone to life as one,
[04:34.19] Think not now your journey's done
[04:39.74] For though your ship be sturdy, no
[04:42.69] Mercy has the sea,
[04:44.68] Will you survive on the ocean of being?
[04:54.50] Come ancient children hear what I say
[04:59.72] This is my parting council for you on your way.
[05:27.04] Sadly now your thoughts turn to the stars
[05:33.25] Where we have gone you know you never can go.
[05:39.51] Watcher of the skies watcher of all
[05:45.38] This is your fate alone, this fate is your own.
