Xandria - The Watcher lyrics

rate me

(Intro)

Hate, greed, worlds turn to ashes

War, creed, no sign from heaven

Burn, bleed, all just for nothing

(Verse)

For centuries I´ve wandered here

Across the ashes of mankind

The blood been spilled, the hopes deceived

There is no water turned to wine

A golden age, a woven maze

Of stolen strings and fake bliss

(Pre-Chorus)

Keep on bleeding, self-deceiving

All or nothing, make-believing

That the winner will always be you

(Chorus)

See the clouds in the sky still burning

Watch me counting the days in the rain

White eiderdown falls to the ground

Covers all that has been with death

(Verse)

So long ago a flower rose

Revealed its beauty and its thorns

We´ve covered those once golden roads

With blood of our children

(Pre-Chorus)

Look and see what it could have been

But this all was just a dream

Just a dream of our foolish minds

So…

(Chorus)

See the clouds in the sky still burning

Watch me counting the days in the rain

The nightfall has come so early

Wiping all of our visions away

White eiderdown falls to the ground

Covers all that has been with death

Wake up

See what you´re becoming

See what we´re becoming
