Watching You Fall - Savatage

There

In the dark

There’s a child and she’s waiting

Lost in the maze of a fait accompli

Is it a crime to be just hesitating

While we’re pretending that we never see

On a TV mounted on the wall

From this distance I can see it all

And I’ve been out here

Watching you

Watching you fall

Is there a trick to the art of not feeling

Safe in our world while another’s child bleeds

Praying that God won’t demand a redealing

Of cards we have held and pretend you don’t need

On a TV mounted on the wall

From this distance I can see it all

And I’ve been out here

Watching you

Watching you fall

Better not think about it

In time we’ll start to doubt it

Christ has risen

Keep him hidden

God forbid he sees

It’s not that we lack the vision

Only just a quick decision

Who will blame us

Rules restrain us
