Solitary

Set me aflame and cast me free, <br>Away, you wretched world of tethers. <br>Through the endless night and day <br>I have never wanted more. <br>Always thought that I would stand <br>Before the faceless name of justice. <br>Like some law unto myself, <br>Like a child of God again. <br><br>And if rain brings winds of change <br>Let it rain on us forever. <br>I have no doubt from what I`ve seen <br>That I have never wanted more. <br>With this line I`ll mark the past <br>As a symbol of beginning. <br>I have no doubt from what I`ve seen <br>That I have never wanted more. <br><br>In this picture stands a man, <br>Far away, alone and distant. <br>Like a solitary field <br>In some nameless foreign land. <br>All around him points of light <br>Start to dim and cease transmitting. <br>Shadows fell on futile games <br>And then there was nothing more. <br><br>Through the screams of falling steel, <br>By the light of flares and wisdom. <br>All the doubts I could not face, <br>All this time I wanted more. <br>With a line I`ll mark the past <br>As a symbol of beginning. <br>To the gods whose names we`ve lost <br>And the names who gave in vain. <br><br>Sever the line to the guilty past, <br>To the ones who brought us nothing <br>Spoke of futures brave and proud <br>And brought only hate and war. <br>Lined the roads with hollow praise, <br>Marked the land with paper statues. <br>Shadows fell on their futile ways <br>And then there was nothing more.
