Текст песни Witness (Tanagra) с переводом

Rain fears no fire

Just as the tide fears no shore

The sound of marching will be lost in the roar

Dark clouds encroach

And drag the light out of the midday sun

Standing stones surround the confluence of nine into one

Overhead, seven monuments to years gone by

Seem to call upon the wind to scour the mountainside

And imbue the stones with a life all their own

And from the voices of the young and wild

A howling tempest takes its form

Silent and paralyzed, thousands of upturned eyes

Behold the approaching storm

Rain fears no fire

Just as the tide fears no shore

The sound of marching will be lost in the roar

Great multitudes lie asleep and waiting

Caught in the gears of the groaning machine

As worlds assemble themselves out of sight

Nestled among the evergreens

Two columns of stone adorned with the Wayfarer’s seal

Rise through the vault of eternity no man can know

And the wide-eyed shuffling denizens of the unreal

Never suspect what goes on in the chambers below

A torch on the wall of the lodestone corridor

Ignites a threadbare tapestry older than dreams

The blaze illuminates a staircase

Descending to a long-forgotten door

And the lock that bars it closed

Is not as unbreakable as it seems

Down where all is still, nothing grows

Every sound disappears

Save only the old dead words that no one hears

Rain fears no fire

Just as the tide fears no shore

The sound of marching will be lost forever in the roar

Thousands of upturned eyes that should have been weeping

Instead are blistering beneath the open sky

Beyond the sea

The dreamers who should have been sleeping

Glimpse, for a moment, the destiny they must defy

Borne upon the wistful wind

Spirited away by the frailest prayer

Wailing through the threnody

One voice becomes a symphony

Wanderlust shall be its only dream

And those who remain shall speak its name

A tragedy in song

Apostasy the winds portend

From battlements upon the crags of dawn

I witness the end
