Lead Vocal: Arthur Brown

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

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

And he won't be found at all

Not a trace to mark his fall

Nor a stain upon the wall

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 if 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
