|
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 end |
|
Has life again destroyed life, do they play elsewhere |
|
Do they know more than their childhood games? |
|
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 |
|
On your own, your own |
|
On your own, your own |
