It flashes before my eyes like a neon sign (a neon sign)

Visions of everything in life that could ever be

And every word rips inward back through time (back through time)

Reflections living still

A burrow of possibility



Calling back for reinforcements

But no one arrives (arrives)

No retreat from the finite waging

Forward forever (forever)

I'm alive



And it feels like so much

Always hanging over me

The weight of the world descending

As I struggle underneath

And it feels like so much

Always hanging over me

I just need to know

That I'm not down here alone



And on this hill I'll make my stand

For the hour is close at hand

This is the moment, this is the time

And with each heartbeat lives a chance

But the hour so close at hand

Defines in a moment a purpose to life



I am the sentinel (the sentinel)

I am the sentinel



Each action carried out lives on for an eternity (eternity)

It ripples across a pool of scattered light

Where every choice is cloaked in moments of uncertainty (uncertainty)

If you look within you'll see the monsters hiding deep inside your own life



And it feels like so much

Always hanging over me

The weight of the world descending

As I struggle underneath

And it feels like so much

Always hanging over me

I just need to know

That I'm not down here alone



And on this hill I'll make my stand

For the hour is close at hand

This is the moment, this is the time

(In silence stands the sentinel)

And with each heartbeat lives a chance

But the hour so close at hand

Defines in a moment a purpose to life

(In silence stands the sentinel)



And on this hill I'll make my stand

For the hour is close at hand

This is the moment, this is the time

(In silence stands the sentinel)

And with each heartbeat lives a chance

But the hour so close at hand

Defines in a moment a purpose to life

(In silence stands the sentinel)



And on this hill I'll make my stand

For the hour is close at hand

This is the moment, this is the time

And with each heartbeat lives a chance

But the hour so close at hand

Defines in a moment a purpose to life
