The silent night begins to call   He listens for the voices from the crumbling walls   And through the mist beneath the sky   He watches as the seconds of your life go by      I see sorrows, laughter, fear from the other side   Rainbows blackened, innocence fractured   And left to die   And if I could change the world   Id stop just watching   Time, as she unfurls   All the lives still searching      Searching for the light of day   He always sees the dark this way   He sits here helplessly watching time   Its beginning to fade   See its not in his control   All the lives bought and sold   Nothing there to grasp or hold   Watching your soul fly away   Fly away      Ive seen chapters, world disasters   Nearing genocide   Schizophrenia, megalomania   Mass suicide   And if I could change the world   Id stop just watching   Time, as she unfurls   All the lives still searching      Searching for the light of day   He always sees the dark this way   He sits here helplessly watching time   Its beginning to fade   See its not in his control   All the lives bought and sold   He sits there helplessly watching time   Its beginning to fade
