About the song
I woke up one morning with this little melody bouncing in my head. I chose to write about the last days.

Curiously, I was working on the bass line and accidently assigned it to my drum machine. That inspired the thundering drum pattern and made the song what it is.
Lyrics
"WATCHING THE EASTERN SKY" by Jeff Leslie 1993

Storms from a tempest blow
Earth quakes from deep below
Streets like a river flow
Flames from the forest glow
No need to turn on the news late tonight
Now is the time to be watching the eastern sky
From now on these eager eyes
Are watching the eastern sky

I’ve witnessed miracles
The strange and impossible
Things that are being done
From a world that is yet to come
All of these wonders just can't be denied
Now is the time to be watching the eastern sky
From now on these eager eyes
Are watching the eastern sky

All of these wonders just can't be denied
Now is the time to be watching the eastern sky
From now on these eager eyes
Are watching the eastern sky
