Show me the colour of your eyes
And I'll show you the colours of things yet to be
These were the openin' lines from a man
Who would show me all there is to see
From this one point on earth I could witness
All forms of life in their entirely
The future, the past and the present
Would all fuse together to eternity
I saw peace, I saw war,
I saw beasts undiscovered before
I saw men ridin' high, rise and fall
'Cos the Aleph sees all
I saw Rutherford splitting the atom
And Columbus splitting for America
I saw creatures at ten thousand fathoms
And the warriors of darkest Africa
I saw your pyramids built out of tears
And Pompeii slide into oblivion
I wantched every event through the years
Flash past my eyes in a vision
Now I know every face that I meet
Or I pass in the street
There are no secrets left, I am full,
'Cos the Aleph knows all
