Watchtower Songtext
von Daou

Up in the mountains
A watchtower stands in the middle of a yellow field
Small passages, tiny stairs crawl like serpents
Linking memories of ancient ruins
That each has its own story
Mostly on sunny days
Beyond a range of hills and valleys
The sun spreads its rays on a bed of blue sea
Early mornings in the backyard
Life felt easy and time infinite

A safe space in an unstable place
A safe space in an unstable place


Sitting on his porch
The old man looked towards the short future
Thinking of the past he tried to forget
Reminiscing about a place that is long gone
Chanting an idea in his empty head
The human race is on a never-ending quest
Evolution gave birth to revolutions
A past of dark ages generated an unstable future
A present of suffering, where the old man can′t live anymore

A safe space in an unstable place
A safe space in an unstable place

I shall repeat if the human race is not listening
Up in the mountains
A watchtower stands in the middle of a yellow field
Small passages, tiny stairs crawl like serpents
Linking memories of ancient ruins
That each has its own story
Mostly on sunny days
Beyond a range of hills and valleys
The sun spreads its rays on a bed of blue sea
Early mornings in the backyard
Life felt easy and time infinite

A safe space in an unstable place
A safe space in an unstable place
A safe space in an unstable place

I shall repeat if the human race is not listening
A safe space in an unstable place
A safe space in an unstable place
