The Night Watch

Close your eyes A tragedy in the making We are not long for this world We are not long for this world No witness to the deception And never make the connection So the lies prevail Come the time A remedy for the taking We are not long for this world We are not long for this world Another passing reflection Revelation when we meet our eyes The distance fades Are you on the night watch? Speak in tongues tonight Out there on the night watch Lift the veil tonight This is the turning of the tide A bridge over the great divide They are not long for this world They are not long for this world And so begins the procession An all-consuming obsession Rank and file tonight And to the men that wear the crown: We know what goes up must come down They are not long for this world They are not long for this world One in a line of succession Celebration when we meet our eyes Dominion fades Are you on the night watch? Speak in tongues tonight Out there on the night watch Lift the veil tonight Speak in tongues tonight Out there on the night watch Lift the veil tonight Out there on the night watch Speak in tongues tonight Out there on the night watch Lift the veil tonight
