Watcher of the Skies - Live

Watcher of the skies, watcher of all.
His is a world alone, no world is his own.
He whom life can no longer surprise,
Raising his eyes, behold a planet unknown.
Creatures shaped this planets soil,
Now their reign has come to end.
Has life again destroyed life,
Do they play elsewhere,
Do they know more than their childhood games?
Maybe the lizard's shed it's 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 earth
From life alone, to life as one
Think not your journey's 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 counsel 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.
