The Watcher and the Witness Songtext
von Taking Balfour

I am the witness
The witness of this destruction
Scenes of torture
Our hope begins to rupture

Mind Frozen
Soul hopeless
What to trust
Lust or disgust
Can′t comprehend
Can't pretend
This is not me
This isn′t my scene

They're watching, over our shoulders
That warmth keeps getting colder
As the devil is creeping in closer
Am I the witness or the controller


I am the watcher
The watcher of this construction
Scenes of torture
Our allies begin to suffer

Is this me
Is this true
Lost in space
Can't see through
Blinded by light
And darkness
The concept of structure
Has departed

They′re watching, over our shoulders
That warmth keeps getting colder
As the devil is creeping in closer
Am I the witness or the controller

Contentment has fallen, the darkness begins
This isn′t our truth, Forgive our sins
We never knew which way to go
The angels on my shoulder come from below


Trying to
Push forward
Held back by
This disorder
Can I see
Is this real
Losing grip
Can't verify what′s concealed

They're watching, over our shoulders
That warmth keeps getting colder
As the devil is creeping in closer
Am I the witness or the controller

Contentment has fallen, the darkness begins
This isn′t our truth, Forgive our sins
We never knew which way to go
The angels on my shoulder come from below

I am the witness
The witness of this destruction
Mind in chains
Souls begin to rupture
