I stand and watch the sea The storm is watching me I know the end is near Yet I don't feel the fear
I see the face of an ancient king
I stand and close my eyes As the world hears my sighs My friends, now enemies My case is clear to see
The storm that came this day was no surprise The book of life revealed before my eyes
Alone I stand when all is gone Riddle of eternity Alone I stand, it's the sign of the times Alone I stand when all is gone Riddle of eternity
I stand and hear what's said I see one shake his head He's not wearing a crown So I watch him drown
His fall, a thorn in my side, I cry
What would you do If your eyes grew darkened For what you had chosen to see If you knew what would happen Wich sights would you chose Or just say it can't happen to me Is it that we live in a dream 'Cause the real world is too frightening to see Is the price too high to pay today So we'll wait 'till tomorrow To see if we can barter us free
So we sleep like a child So we sleep like a child So we sleep
