A World of Illness - The Watcher Fell from the Perch

The Watcher Fell from the Perch


Verse 1
The trees you can hear them as the wind it picks up pace
from all the wheeling, dealing and betrayal taking place
In the midst of dodging the flying debris of crooked scams
The side effects of blindly trusting lying thieves
It's hard to hold on in such instability
It's hard to hold on when your pulled and shoved repeatedly
Is this the disaster which finally ruins everything
Is this the disaster from which there's no recovering
Verse 2
Yes I have been watching as the illness grows each day and
all that I've been watching, it will pass then come again
They don't care to know or believe in the harm it is they're
doing and some of us stand in awe at the destruction of
everything
Verse 3
It's time for choosing, the peach is shifting, the world is shaking
The highest point is coming down, the grip is slipping
The highest point is coming down to the world that was.
The world we watched
Verse 4
Earth it quakes, the fence it breaks as we reach the end
You watched, now you'll run and you'll hide, but only on one
battered side. Tensions growing, hate increasing, the watchers
have gone their own way to find seclusion till the dogs close in
and on that day everybody dies
Verse 5
There's not a sound, but the dead trees if frozen wind off iced
lakes and streams, There's not a sound, no one to see
No living things. Nothing left that breaths.
