MEDIATOR In the dark and silent office there burns a single light As a lonely figure works on late into the night In the semi darkness he sits there all alone And the new guy in security says,'۟Why doesn't he go home?' But when there's nothing waiting there you can't call it home When the only thing you are there is alone So pray you never get to see the loneliness that lies Behind the mask like shield of hie dark and piercing eyes For he loved completely only once with all his soul and heart But tragedy and violence tore her and his world apart Now he must face a world that's cold and bleak without her When all he ever does is think about her But it is he that people call in times of strife or war To find between opposing sides some common ground once more To be the Mediator he must care for everyone To gain their trust he must love all, show preference for none The pain that comes with failure so wounds him to the soul That no amount of success makes him whole And those that call him friend hold him more valuable than gold They have wept more tears for him that can be wrote or told For he would go through hell for them and has done in the past And their only wish is peace for him, some kind of rest at last But he has seen the future and some far and distant day When Destiny has cast him in her play For when our distant brothers from the stars arriveI t's only he who'll speak for us to see that we survive It is he who'll forge the treaty between the stars and earth He'll mediate, negotiate a new age, a rebirth For he knows there's something coming that will only talk to him So he is waiting patiently for the talking to begin... And so to live without her he knows he has to try Because, until the judgement day, he knows he cannot die
