Verse 1 The world's on edge, the clock strikes near, Two superpowers living in fear, Masked heroes faded, outlawed, gone, But shadows linger when the night's too long. A man in blue walks far from earth, Sees atoms dancing, questions worth, A cynic hunts through rain-soaked streets, Searching for the truth beneath deceit. Pre-Chorus A fallen hero from the sky, A murder that won't pass him by, The pieces move, the pattern grows, Toward a secret nobody knows. Chorus Who watches the watchmen when the world's on fire? Who guards the guardians when hope grows tired? Truth and lies collide beneath the neon glow, As the hands of midnight creep ever slow. One choice could save us, one choice could condemn, The fate of millions rests with the Watchmen. Verse 2 An owl takes flight, a specter returns, Old flames rekindle, old justice burns, A brilliant mind with a grand design, Drawing every thread into a single line. Across the globe the tension climbs, Warnings hidden between the lines, The smartest man has seen the end, And built a plan he cannot bend. Pre-Chorus A terrible peace, a shocking cost, A future gained through lives now lost, The heroes stand where morals break, Facing the choice they have to make. Chorus Who watches the watchmen when the world's on fire? Who guards the guardians when hope grows tired? Truth and lies collide beneath the neon glow, As the hands of midnight creep ever slow. One choice could save us, one choice could condemn, The fate of millions rests with the Watchmen. Bridge A giant lie can stop a war, But what becomes of justice then? If peace is built on hidden scars, Can truth survive the weight of men? One voice refuses to pretend, A journal waiting at the end, The story sleeping in the dark, A final question, one last spark. Final Chorus Who watches the watchmen when the silence falls? Who hears the warning written on the walls? Heroes and villains blur beneath the night, No simple answers, no clear wrong or right. The clock keeps ticking, again and again, And history waits for the Watchmen. Outro Twelve strikes echo through the gloom, A fragile peace inside the room, The world moves on, but deep within, The question still remains... who watches them?
