YOU should have seen him
|
Lying alone in helpless silence in the night
|
You should have seen him
|
You would have seen his eye reflecting in the light
|
|
So for the old man
|
Ashes to ashes, earth to earth and dust to dust
|
No one will see me
|
No one with guilt to share, no secret soul to trust
|
|
Louder and louder
|
Till I could tell the sound was not within my ears
|
You should have seen me
|
You would have seen my eyes grow white and cold with fear
|
|
Heard all the things in Heaven and Earth
|
I've seen many things in Hell
|
But his vulture's eye of a cold pale blue
|
Is the eye of the Devil himself
|
|
Take me away now
|
But let the silence drown the beating of his heart
|
