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 [Pre-chorus:] Has learned to fear the fire of life Has burned his hands so many times In the shelter of smoke he is feeling home Gives him protection from the outside world 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? [Chorus:] 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 [Pre-chorus] 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? [Chorus]
