The silent night begins to call He listens for the voices from the crumbling walls And through the mist beneath the sky He watches as the seconds of your life go by I see sorrows, laughter, fear from the other side Rainbows blackened, innocence fractured And left to die And if I could change the world I'd stop just watching Time, as she unfurls All the lives still searching Searching for the light of day He always sees the dark this way He sits here helplessly watching time It's beginning to fade See it's not in his control All the lives bought and sold Nothing there to grasp or hold Watching your soul fly away Fly away I've seen chapters, world disasters Nearing genocide Schizophrenia, megalomania Mass suicide And if I could change the world I'd stop just watching Time, as she unfurls All the lives still searching Searching for the light of day He always sees the dark this way He sits here helplessly watching time It's beginning to fade See it's not in his control All the lives bought and sold He sits there helplessly watching time It's beginning to fade
