You should have seen him    Lying alone in helpless silence in the night    You should have seen him    You would have seen his eye reflecting in the light       So for the old man    Ashes to ashes, earth to earth, and dust to dust    No one will see me    No one with guilt to share, no secret soul to trust       And he won't be found at all    Not a trace to mark his fall    Nor a stain upon the wall       Louder and louder    Til I could tell the sound was not within my ears    You should have seen me    You would have seen my eyes    Grow white and cold with fear       Heard all the things in Heaven and Earth    I've seen many things in Hell    But his vulture's eye of a cold pale blue    Is the eye of the Devil himself       Take me away now    But let the silence drown the beating of his heart    I can't go on    Let me be free from wretched sea that I can not see    Please let me be free
