One more.
Not quite done with this yet, but it's getting late. A lot of my stuff is doom and gloom. This is just the opposite - it's gloom and doom.
Columns of smoke beyond the horizon
Starts at six and grows to a dozen
Something moving in the shadows
Trying to guess what only the devil knows
This is what it’s like to be on the watch
Total silence is a worrying sound
What was lost tends to stick around
Wind is howling from the East
Ringing bells, summoning the beast
This is what it’s like to be on the watch
Just another night on the watch
Searching all I’ve done
Searching all I’ve said
To keep the blade above me
To keep the blade above me
To keep the blade above my head
To keep the blade above my head
I try to see in all directions
Try to separate real from reflections
Put myself here - no use running
Fear always here danger always coming
This is what it’s like to be on the watch
Just another night on the watch

Nice refreshing change of tone for this. I see the difference. Seriously very intense prog rock opera you have here. Nobody would ever confuse the 2 of us in our music. However it’s interesting we both wrote our last songs about paranoia characters. Excellent work captain!

Wow dude this sounds like every band I've ever loved all rolled into one! Guitar tone is a monster! The lyrics really put you up in that tower. Really love this song, shoots right to the top of my list this fawm. Nice work!
