It's lonely, sitting where I am
No one knows how hollow
Pretend to be a leader of men
Just need someone to follow

Once I watched a dream so pure
Crumble before my eyes
As I sat in broken comfort
In this house of lies

Chorus
I can only watch over things
And feel as the lord of flies
Sometimes the serpent should be broken
And even the Devil cries

A smile so radiant
It's shown through the dark
A voice so beautiful
It silenced my bark

A sweetness tasted only once
A touch to bring me to my knees
Such sweet lips, gentle fingertips
She's gone again with the breeze

I can only watch over things
And feel as the lord of flies
Sometimes the serpent should be broken
And even the Devil cries

Bridge
There is no
Absolution
Abstraction
Confusion
Twisting visions
Things should be
Awaken from dreams
Out stretched hand from me

I can only watch over things
And feel as the lord of flies
Sometimes the serpent should be broken
And even the Devil cries
