In the eyes of the Watcher the gleam of flames

Reflecting pictures of the years gone by

Time makes no difference the sleep won't come

And tomorrows daylight is hiding around



This lonely mind, eyes still awake

Taking a swig now and then

Poking the fire with the rod

Seeking the truth behind the blaze

Where lost all the glory days?

Vanity just remains in his own wishing well



Has learned to fear the fire of life

Has burned his hands so many times

In the shelter of smoke he is feeling home



Mindrust - watching the embers

Time passes his eyes in flow

Grand failure, betrayal, denial

The pain to swallow

Tarred waiting to burn

The glow stays until it fades

Dying weeping and slow

Before the rain comes falling



So the fire does not forever burn

And before the rain he has to learn



The lesson of life we all have to die

Ashes only stays under our names

If believed Kingdom come before all is gone

Is the chance to reborn who'll need the fire?



Gives him protection from the outside world
