I watched the rise and the fall of the common man
I lived to see all our steps walked back
I watched the walls all crash down crumbling
just to be rebuilt while we slept
We threw swords in the oceans wide and deep
We promise peace but peace won't last
because we force new blades so nervously
waiting for this harmony to pass
I stand guard and roam
like a sentinel
and I see it all
I've been awake too long
wish there was something
that should close my eyes
to all that I see
awake too long
it would be easier
to fall asleep
We fell in love but the love kept running out
