Gamma Ray
Watcher in the Sky
[Verse 1: Kai 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
[Pre-Chorus: Kai Hansen]
Out in the darkness—I am going mad
Where are the others? There's silence in my head
[Chorus: Kai Hansen]
'Cause I'm a watcher in the sky
I've seen universes die
Out in the cold, my systems overload
I am here and lost in time
Watcher in the sky, sky
[Verse 2: Kai Hansen]
I'm trapped in this nightmare
Endless tortures and pain
Millenniums have gone by
Ooh, it drives me insane
[Pre-Chorus: Kai Hansen]
Who am I now?
I'm not man—I'm not machine
I gave my life away for the Iron Savior dream
[Chorus: Kai Hansen]
'Cause I'm a watcher in the sky
I've seen universes die
Out in the cold, my systems overload
I am here and lost in time
Watcher in the sky, sky
[Solo: Kai Hansen]
[Bridge: Piet Sielck]
(Hooked) Hooked to the circuits of a lifeless, cold machine
Lost in a world of artificial means
(Ripped) Ripped out of my body
I'll stand the test of time
Am I perpetual? Am I divine?
[Solo: Piet Sielck / Kai Hansen]
[Chorus/Outro: Kai Hansen]
'Cause 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 I'm here and 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
