I stand and watch the universe so strong and full of light
I watch the children grow and dreamers fight
And yet you ask me now to throw them all away,
To steal from them their right to have their day
For all the deeds we've done,
And all the things that we've begun,
All the people, every heaven, every hell,
All the places that we've been,
And all the wonders that we've seen
Will vanish when it's Midnight at the Well
I've seen a thousand races die, but thousands more still thrive
Those living races have a right to survive
Art and joy and music - all will disappear -
And no one will ever know that they were here
And all the deeds we've done,
All the things that we've begun,
All the people, every heaven, every hell,
All the places that we've been,
And all the wonders that we've seen
Will vanish when it's Midnight at the Well
But I will not take all the blame for the things you ask
Mine not the only guilt, the only task
For I must be the one to pull the trigger, it is true,
But the one who gives the order shall be you!
And all the deeds we've done,
And all the things that we've begun,
All the people, every heaven, every hell,
All the places that we've been,
And all the wonders that we've seen
Will vanish when it's Midnight at the Well
Must vanish, for it's Midnight at the Well
Give the order - it's Midnight at the Well
