Текст песни The Watchman (Michael Barrow & the Tourists) с переводом

From the top of my tower

I can see our city spread below

The sun sets on the rooftops

Of the place I call home

And a charge comes with a call

From an unknown voice that only speaks to me

It whispers to my mind the unspoken words:

«Tell them what you see.»

I see light

I see life

I see love

As the city sleeps beneath my watch

I find myself alone

And my heart sinks within me

As the night turns cold

A figure dressed in red raises up a sword

As his army storms the grounds

The voice comes back to ask me

«What do you see now?»

I see pain

I see fire

And I see blood

There’s no light

There’s no life

And there’s no love

The rising tall, the final stand

On my lips a call, and a trumpet in my hand

When it sounds, the time has come

I’ll stand watch, but I’ll plead with you to run

Oh, I plead with you to run

As the dust begins to settle

And the smoke has cleared

All that I can see from the top of my tower

Is a shadow of what our city used to be

But in my soul, there’s a hope and a comfort

From a voice I can’t ignore

Of this city, I’m The Watchman

And I know that there’s war

A new light

A new life

A new love
