Genesis Watcher of the Skies

Genesis Watcher of the Skies

Lyrics:

Watcher of the skies watcher of all
His is a world alone no world is his own,
He whom life can no longer surprise,
Raising his eyes beholds a planet unknown.

Creatures shaped this planet's soil,
Now their reign has come to an end,
Has life again destroyed life,
Do they play elsewhere, do they know
more than their childhood games?

Maybe the lizard's shed its tail,
This is the end of man's long union with Earth.

Judge not this race by empty remains
Do you judge God by his creatures when they are dead?
For now, the lizard's shed it's tail
This is the end of man's long union with Earth.

From life alone to life as one,
Think not now your journey's done
For though your ship be sturdy, no
Mercy has the sea,
Will you survive on the ocean of being?
Come ancient children hear what I say
This is my parting council for you on your way.

Sadly now your thoughts turn to the stars
Where we have gone you know you never can go.
Watcher of the skies watcher of all
This is your fate alone, this fate is your own.

Not a bad cover - still prefer the real thing though. Who is this ?

[TheMusicisawesome]

@cantabile03 I actually don't know. It could be that this version is performed by Phill Collins

[PalerShadeOfWhite]

@TheMusicisawesome I'm no expert but I bet it is Steve Hackett solo doing a cover. If not then it is certainly one of the usual suspects tribute bands. Great, love it, thanks. btw just fyi you could edit your title to correct it _watcher_(no S on end, not plural.)

[TheMusicisawesome]

@PalerShadeOfWhite Thank you! And I will change the title :P
