A letra:
You
shout in your sleep
Perhaps the price is just too steep
Is your
conscience at rest if once put to the test?
You awake with a start
to just the beating of your heart
Just one man beneath the
sky
Just two ears, just two eyes
You set sail across the
sea of long past thoughts and memories
Childhood's end
Your
fantasies merge with harsh realities
And then as the sail is
hoist
You find your eyes are growing moist
All the fears never
voiced say you have to make your final choice
Who are you and
who am I to say we know the reason why?
Some are born
Some men
die beneath one infinite sky
There'll be war, there'll be
peace
But everything one day will cease
All the iron turned to
rust
All the proud men turned to dust
And so all things, time
will mend
So this song will end
