Watcher (feat. Ivar Eidem, Børge Olsen, Sven Kalmar & Anthony Herbin)

The Watcher from the distance

will set your feeling mode

and measure your performance

according to the laws

With promises of pride

and teasers showing fame

with humble rules of knighthood

and shunning personal gain

You sense the whip from distance

a reminder of her rage

a cold condemning hatred

no interest in your faith

You whip the stupid others

who're bragging out of vain

you watch it work in action

and keep yourself in line

Do make your mother happy

bestow her with your calm

be her little genius

admired by the crowd

Presented like a statue

a beauty on a block

exposing his credentials

a hero without pride

This is tale about the inner critic. It's demands and craving for control. It's promises of pride and mothers acceptance. It also gives you the illusion of being better than others. But the rules are strict: Be better than others, but do not brag show your credentials without pride.
