Panopticon - Watching You lyrics

For Holly and Ed
We love and miss you so much!
- Jack and Austin

This loss of all innocence
The hands that guard us often wither
And leaving us so exposed

Naked to the wolves
Away from our fathers and mothers
Who once sheltered us from
The terror of the world
Who will hold us now that they have gone?
Left to be embraced by fear and loss
Whose gentle hands rock us to sleep
Singing vicious lullabies to us

The grim reminder of all
We have lost, of our fallen kin
The innocence lost

So we turn within, grown into adults
And longing to be children again
Just to hear your voice once more

Just to hear your voice once more

We saw the hands of the Gods that day
In quick wings held steady
A gaze across time, a last goodbye
And hope took flight

We may never see your face again
But, I know you haven't left us
Your work lives on in me
Your heart live on in me

The current ran against our feet
Another loss to nourish the river you became
Rich earth contains memories of past days
The soil that embraced you
And seeds for future hopes

The air I breath again the cycle spins on!

Neither lost nor forgotten
With sun shining down
We walk within you in the day

We sleep beneath you in the night
And remember you all of our lives

Our lives all of our lives
Our lives all of our lives
