The Seer / The Scientist Lyrics


The lonesome Seer walks the shore in the moonlight

Tired and old, quietly heaves a sigh

Lusts after light, tragic chaser of fortune

The wanderer starts to sing an alluring tune

The Scientist bathes in light in the steeple

Soft resonance in this lonely cathedral

Those great machines squeak and roar, solid and strong

The alloy heart heeds the call of a distant song

And starts to beat again

Oh Scientist, why you gaze at the night sky?

You seek distant stars through engine eye

But cold heart, why don’t you leave the turret?

My soul is in pain and I know you can cure it!

Sorrowful Seer, bitter singer of dark songs

Why there’s no place where your heart truly belongs?

My telescope knows the spheres and the stars too

And so many times I tried, but I don’t know you!

I never knew you!

Dark days will come - maybe not today, not tomorrow, but soon enough

The struggles and discords confound their speech and the distance is growing between them

‘Till all the songs turn into pain and all the love burns in the fires of trials

Embers to ashes. The end is fated.

The lovers are doomed.

One's chained by the past

The other's running to the future

There's no time, it's not enough

For understanding

Where one's a sightless sufferer

The other's blood is made of alkaline

There's no space to breathe

There's no room to grow

The seer is the song

But deaf is the scientist

Patience, empathy

Is all that they wanted

Be heard and be seen

Treasured and understood

Feel held and feel loved

Is all that they wanted

(Headstrong... it’s all wrong what I do…)

Enchanter... liar…

(I can’t understand you…)

I cannot save you…

There's no space to breathe

In the end!
