The Tocsin

You saw her standing at the gateway
With her hands in the clouds
But the higher she is moving up
The more it gets you down

And she's waiting in the afterglow
With her eyes somewhere else
It's like she says
Don't let it worry you

Was it just a warning?
Someday you might awake
And maybe all inside of you
Is not enough for what you take

Was it just a warning?
Someday you might awake
And maybe all inside of you
Maybe you'll fail

Somewhere out where you are standing still
And shovel dust in the wind
Someone told you
Better wait until the rain will begin

Maybe it's time for reflections
And the night endless long gives
You chance enough
To make believe it's going on

Was it just a warning?
Someday you might awake
And maybe all inside of you
Is not enough for what you take

Was it just a warning?
Someday you might awake
And maybe all inside of you
Maybe you'll fail
