Lyrics Jon Oliva's Pain

Jon Oliva's Pain

Guardian Of Forever

The silent night begins to call

He listens for the voices from the crumbling walls

And through the mist beneath the sky

He watches as the seconds of your life go by

I see sorrows, laughter, fear from the other side

Rainbows blackened, innocence fractured

And left to die

And if I could change the world

I'd stop just watching

Time, as she unfurls

All the lives still searching

Searching for the light of day

He always sees the dark this way

He sits here helplessly watching time

It's beginning to fade

See it's not in his control

All the lives bought and sold

Nothing there to grasp or hold

Watching your soul fly away

Fly away

I've seen chapters, world disasters

Nearing genocide

Schizophrenia, megalomania

Mass suicide

And if I could change the world

I'd stop just watching

Time, as she unfurls

All the lives still searching

Searching for the light of day

He always sees the dark this way

He sits here helplessly watching time

It's beginning to fade

See it's not in his control

All the lives bought and sold

He sits there helplessly watching time

It's beginning to fade
