Hey guys! Here's a really strange song for you. It's also probably one of the last FOTS songs I'll upload! If you had a favorite on the album that hasn't gotten some love yet, I can take requests though. Just let me know if you want to see Promises, Wicked Wicked World, or Ignorance is Bliss on the channel!
The Watcher is about a man in limbo (hence the art style) between the afterlife and the real world. He wanders an icy city while he waits for a mysterious "watcher" to decide his fate and take him up the staircase or down to to suffer... It's a dark fairytale of a man stuck between two worlds, and a fearsome ghoul who wants to take him to the next.

Lyrics:
South winds fill the air tonight
A cold heart's lullaby
An icy figure walking
Through the city I called mine
A stream of ghastly voices
Fill the children's hearts with fear
But no one dares to harm them
For even evil left us here
Hollow paradise
A place of spirits and of ice
The lights have long burned out
But still the echoes give us light
Trapped inside a hall
With my portraits on the wall
The faces stare right back
As I hear the watcher's weary call
Still unsure what brought me here
I wander in the dust
A whisper in the wasteland
Carries through these fields of rust
He calls a boy to follow him
To a staircase up and down
He says they're moving onward
For they're sailing heaven bound
I asked the watcher
Where I'm going from this place
His faceless smile expressed
It's a journey to embrace
I'm not wicked man
But I fear the cells below
He showed me to a door
Where it leads I cannot know
