Lyrics

Bilingual
You should have seen him
Lying alone in helpless silence in the night
ย
You should have seen him
You would have seen his eye reflecting in the light
ย
So for the old man
Ashes to ashes, earth to earth and dust to dust
ย
No one will see me
No one with guilt to share, no secret soul to trust
ย
And he won't be found at all
Not a trace to mark his fall
Nor a stain upon the wall
Louder and louder
Till I could tell the sound was not within my ears
And you should have seen me
You would have seen my eyes grow wide and cold with fear
ย
Heard all the things in Heaven and Earth
I've seen many things in Hell
But his vulture's eye of a cold pale blue
It's the eye of the Devil himself
ย
Take me away now
But let the silence drown the beating of his heart
I can't go on
Let me be free from this wretched secret that I carry
Please set me free
