Storm clouds appear at the horizon A shadow like a blanket covers the ground The spirits are unleashed to leave the atmosphere The darkness swallows an enormous amount I gaze into the night Long to lift off and be with them But I am bound to stay until the end of days The light must shine, the fire must burn to run the machine That's channeling the magic stream of life mortals Oh so dumb, the lucky break from earth never know the pain of the deprived I gaze into the night Long to lift off and be with them But I am bound to stay until the end of days I follow my destiny, what else could I do? Eternal reign on earth forced upon my back The passion of these mortal lives must be kept in flames Guess who's the captain steering this planets sinking wrack Armageddon I await to come To be free for long, long, long Until creation calls me back to duty I gaze into the night Long to lift off and be with them But I am bound to stay until the end of days
