Solitary

Set me aflame and cast me free, away, you wretched world of tethers
Through the endless night and day I have never wanted more
Always thought that I would stand before the faceless name of justice
Like some law unto myself, like a child of God again

And if rain brings winds of change let it rain on us forever
I have no doubt from what I've seen that I have never wanted more
With this line I'll mark the past as a symbol of beginning
I have no doubt from what I've seen that I have never wanted more

In this picture stands a man, far away, alone and distant
Like a solitary field in some nameless foreign land
All around the points of light start to dim and cease transmitting
Shadows fell on futile games and then there was nothing more

Through the screams of falling steel, by the light of flares and wisdom
All the doubts I could not face, all this time I wanted more
With a line I'll mark the past as a symbol of beginning
To the gods whose names we've lost and the names who gave in vain

And if rain brings winds of change let it rain on us forever
I have no doubt from what I've seen that I have never wanted more
With this line I'll mark the past as a symbol of beginning
I have no doubt from what I've seen that I have never wanted more

Set me aflame and cast me free, away, you wretched world of tethers
Through the endless night and day I have never wanted more
Always thought that I would stand before the faceless name of justice
Like some law unto myself, like a child of God again

And if rain brings winds of change let it rain on us forever
I have no doubt from what I've seen that I have never wanted more
With this line I'll mark the past as a symbol of beginning
I have no doubt from what I've seen that I have never wanted more

Sever the line to the guilty past, to the ones who brought us nothing
Spoke of futures brave and proud and brought only hate and war
Lined the roads with hollow praise, marked the land with paper statues
Shadows fell on their futile ways and then there was nothing more
