You shout in your sleep
That's the price, it's just too steep
Is your conscience at rest
If once put to the test?
You awake with a start
To just the beating of your heart.
Just one man beneath the sky,
Just two ears, just two eyes.
You set sail across the sea
Of long past thoughts and memories.
Childhood's end: your fantasies
Merging harsh realities.
And then as the sail is hoist
You'll find your eyes are growing moist
And all the fears never voiced
Say you have to make the final choice.
Who are you and who am I
To say we know the reason why?
Some are born, some men die
Beneath one infinite sky.
There'll be war or there'll be peace
But anything one day will cease.
All the iron turn to rust,
All the proud men turn to dust.
So all things time will mend,
So this song will end.
