Watcher Of The Skies Lyrics - Genesis Revisited (reis) - Steve Hackett

Watcher of the skies, watcher of all 

His is a world alone no world is his own 

He whom life can no longer surprise 

Raising his eyes beholds a planet unknown 

Creatures shaped this planet's soil 

Now their reign has come to end 

Has life again destroyed life? 

Do they play elsewhere, do they know 

More than their childhood games? 

Maybe the lizard's shed its tail 

This is the end of man's long union with Earth

Judge not this race by empty remains 

Do you judge God by his creatures when they are dead? 

For now, the lizard's shed it's tail 

This is the end of man's long union with Earth 

From life alone to life as one 

Think not now your journey's done 

For though your ship be sturdy 

No mercy has the sea. 

Will you survive on the ocean of being? 

Come ancient children hear what I say 

This is my parting council for you on your way

Sadly now your thoughts turn to the stars 

Where we have gone you know you never can go 

Watcher of the skies watcher of all 

This is your fate alone, this fate is your own
