For two hundred years I have watched the view from this exact spot Once surrounded by my brothers, now I stand alone One by one they have fallen, first to the fire, then by axe and saw Machines have sped my loneliness… so much progress?
When you receive the mark of man, you know You haven’t long in this world, oh
Stand, sentinel, stand Seen the progress of man, progress of time For two hundred years, vision, my tears Oh stand, sentinel, stand Now I have the mark
Tired limbs stretched out towards the Sun Will tomorrow’s dawn be my last? I can barely breathe I can not feel extremities Father Sun is but a glimpse Or just a memory?
When you receive the mark of man, you know You haven’t long in this world, oh
Stand, sentinel, stand Seen the progress of man, progress of time For two hundred years, vision, my tears Oh stand, sentinel, stand Seen the changes of man, changes of mind All of these years, my people, my kind, we will stand, stand
I have cradled babies in my arms, given shelter from the storm Now I must rest eternal rest, join my brothers in the Earth Now my life is but a flicker in the flame of life itself Was it all for nothing? All for nothing? Soon, I will… I will have my answer
Stand, sentinel, stand Seen the progress of man, progress of time For two hundred years, vision, my tears Stand, sentinel, stand
We will stand, oh stand
Now I have the mark!
