The Watcher

Lyrics

[Curt Smith] Welcome to your life There's no turning back Even while we sleep We will find you acting on your best behavior Turn your back on mother nature Everybody wants to rule the world It's my own desire It's my own remorse Help me to decide Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world [Sandtimer] I didn't expect to see you here After all we had been through I wasn't thinking I'd see you for a long, long time You don't seem pleased to see me again But since you're here, I wanted to share something with you I wanted to share a view of the edge of this world The ocean of infinite nothing I've stood here countless times before Always alone, left to endure the emptiness of creation But I know patience like no man or mountain I know intimately the word unspoken, the guiding from beneath the veil of our world The breathing that wipes space and time out of existence and exhales into you I know you from a thousand lives I know every death, and I stand, once again I stand in rain, and in ash Where the light of stars lay buried
