Genesis - Watcher Of The Skies lyrics

He is a world alone no world is his own,

He whom life can no longer surprise,

Raising his eyes beholds a planet unknown.

Creatures shaped this planet's soil,

Now their reign has come to an end,

Has life again destroyed life,

Do they play elsewhere, or do they know

more than their childhood games?

Maybe the lizard's shed its tail,

This is the end of man's long union with Earth.

Judge not this race by empty remains.

Do you judge God by his creatures when they are dead?

For now, the lizard's shed it's tail

This is the end of man's long union with the Earth.

>From life alone to life as one,

Think not your journey done

For though your ship be sturdy, no

Mercy has the sea,

Will you survive on the ocean of being?

Come ancient children hear what I say

This is my parting council for you on your way.

Sadly now your thoughts turn to the stars

Where we have gone you know you never can go.

Watcher of the skies watcher of all

This is your fate alone, this fate is your own
