Watcher of the Skies - 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 else where 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
