about

This song arose from the speculation that it might be biologically beneficial to have some people who are genetically predisposed to insomnia so they can stay up at night to watch over the tribe. And so The Watcher was born, a mythological man sitting on the side of the great mountain, watching over the rise and fall of life on earth.

lyrics

THE WATCHER

The Watcher sits upon the mountain,
stars and moon
spin above.
Eyes peer into the darkness
to see what comes.

The Watcher sees all
sees the rise
sees the fall...

The Watcher guards over the land
so you can sleep in peace.

Fingers trail stardust
across the sky,
golden sparks rain down
from on high.

The Watcher sees all
sees the rise
sees the fall.
The Watcher sees all
the rise, the fall.

The Watcher
witnesses civilizations
rise and fall.
The Watcher sees them all.

Sun and wind
are The Watcher’s friends,
where on starts, the other ends
then they begin again.

Fingers trail stardust
across the sky,
golden sparks rain down
from on high.

The Watcher sees all
sees the rise
sees the fall.
The Watcher sees all
the rise, the fall.
Rise, fall (3x)
