The Watchman Lyrics
Atop the highest wall I give the call
Always watching, always keeping, on and on
When called upon to warn I sound the horn
Never sleeping, never tiring, dusk till dawn
From the edge of oblivion I keep this land
The earth may shake and the winds may come,
I am the watchman
But when the army came I was to blame
Never calling, never warning, kept silent
And so the people died, they screamed and cried
Always hiding, always shying, so it went
To the edge of oblivion I led this land
The earth it shook and the winds they came,
I am the watchman
With all this blood on my hands…
What a coward I’ve been…
Just to save myself…
Past the edge of oblivion I’ll have to stand
And facing them all I shall confess
Always watching, always keeping, on and on
When called upon to warn I sound the horn
Never sleeping, never tiring, dusk till dawn
The earth may shake and the winds may come,
I am the watchman
Never calling, never warning, kept silent
And so the people died, they screamed and cried
Always hiding, always shying, so it went
The earth it shook and the winds they came,
I am the watchman
What a coward I’ve been…
Just to save myself…
And facing them all I shall confess
