  • You should have seen him
    Lying alone in helpless silence in the night
    You should have seen him
    You would have seen his eye reflecting in the light, oh yeah

    So for the old man
    Ashes to ashes, earth to earth and dust to dust
    No one will see me
    No one with guilt to share, no secret soul to trust, oh no

    Louder and louder
    Till I could tell the sound was not within my ears
    You should have seen me
    You would have seen my eyes grow white and cold with fear

    Heard all the things in Heaven and Earth
    I've seen many things in Hell
    But his vulture's eye of a cold pale blue
    Is the eye of the Devil himself

    Take me away now
    But let the silence drown the beating of his heart
    I can't go on
    Let me be free from wretched sea that I can not see
    Please let me be free Writer/s: Alan Parsons, Eric Norman Woolfson
