Seabound Sentinel
The warning came by mail
A music box, wrapped in wire
Then a shadow broke through the door
Scanned the room and opened fire
And all that's good now flies away
To a place that knows no past
To rise and set forever
Like the sun, at last
And if it wasn't for me
Time would not be turning anymore
And if it wasn't for you
They would know the answer
And if it wasn't for me
Time would not be turning anymore
Take away the blinds
I'll confess to any crime
And if it wasn't for you
They would know the answer
You don't feel it anymore
I know, I know, I know
Burn, diorama, burn
What lesson will you learn
See the world we knew burn
What lesson will we learn
The diorama's all lit up
Hippie, teddy, firemen, and me
We're all waiting for our turn
For you to wind us up, you see
You hide between the pieces
Ensnared by ties that only you can feel
I throw in another shot
Kiss these claws, try to believe that what you say is
real
And if it wasn't for me
Time would not be turning anymore
Take away the blinds
I'll confess to any crime
And if it wasn't for you
They would know the answer
You say it isn't so - but
I know, I know, I know
And if it wasn't for me
Time would not be turning anymore
Take away the blinds
We cannot outlast this time
And if it wasn't for you
They would know the answer
You don't feel it anymore
I know, I know, I know
All that's good now flies away
To a place that knows no past
To rise and set forever
Like the sun, at last
The warning came by mail
A music box, wrapped in wire
Then an angel walked through the door
Scanned the room and opened fire
And all that's good now flies away
To a place that knows no past
And I rise and set forever
Like the sun, at last, at last
Take away the blinds
I'll confess to any crime
You don't feel it anymore
I know, I know, I know
And if it wasn't for me
Time would not be turning anymore
Take away the blinds
I'll confess to any crime
And if it wasn't for you
They would know the answer
You say it won't be so - but
I know, I know, I know
And if it wasn't for me
Time would not be turning anymore
Take away the blinds
We can not outlast this time
And if it wasn't for you
They would know the answer
You don't feel it anymore
I know, I know, I know
