He watches silently with eyes as calm as the sea.
Softest teal tumbles onto the shore, white briny ruffles on Ocean's skirt.

After all, that's how it's always been.
No wind, but cold still clings to his bones.
The sky is sprinkled dust and ash suspended in time.

Just empty space and empty promises.
Silently, he watches.


REFRAIN:
These are the eyes that have watched the harbor,
And these are the eyes that have seen it all,

Witness to war and senseless violence...
The eyes that saw a thousand ships.


Greed, vengeance, jealousy, anger, all catalysts fueling the madness below.
Arrows, bows, blades, and shields, then bombs, artillery;
Would it never end?

But eyes that have seen so much no longer cry the tears they cried before.

[REFRAIN]


Peace, it seemed, would never be nothing more than ink on the page.
Nothing could surprise him now.

Time and time again, the same mistakes were made;
More eager to act than to think.
They became the evils they thought they were facing.


[REFRAIN]


These are the eyes that have watched the harbor
And witnessed the end of countless fights.
After the Final War, the world was quiet.

A soundless sigh, and he closed his eyes.
