gamma ray - watcher in the sky lyrics

[ music & lyrics: sieck / hansen ]

i'm watching the mountains i'm watching the sea
observing the creatures i am lost - set me free
across the heavens i made my way
i've seen empires rise and blown away

i have arrived at my destiny but after all there's just emptiness in me
dot in the darkness - i am going mad
where are the others - there's silence in my head

'cause i'm watcher in the sky
i've seen universes die
out in the cold my systems overload
i am lost in time
watcher in the sky

i'm trapped in this nightmare
endless tortures and pain, milleniums have gone by
uhhh, it drives me insane

who am i now ?
i'm not man - i'm not machine
i gave my life away for the iron savior dream

'cause i'm watcher in the sky ...

[ solo: kai ]

[ piet: ]
hooked to the circuits of a lifeless, cold machine
lost in a world of artificial means
ripped out of my body
i'll stand the rest of time
am i perpetual ? - am i devine ?

[ solo: piet / kai ]

i'm a watcher in the sky
my soul has drowned in the tears i cannot cry
i'm the watcher the chosen one but i am lost in time
i'm a watcher in the sky i've seen the years go by
i am the chosen one
out in the cold my systems overload and i am lost in time
watcher in the sky
watching the mountains, watching the sea, watching the creatures
you'll never be free
watcher in the sky
