The stranger remains

Confronted with neglection
An urge to rest in shelter
Not to obey

Vanishing eternity
No means of grace
Deface my soul

Forgotten soldiers marching
Inside my head
Lydia, to my decay

To linger in affliction
Marching on
Into decay

To fall into abeyance
Stranger, disperse in vain
Into decay

Embrace my thoughts
To spare a chain
Neglect my mind to linger on
The stranger remains the same
Marching on
Into decay

The stranger remains the same
Obliged to fall into decay

Embrace my thoughts
To spare a chain
Neglect my mind
To linger on
The stranger remains
Remains the same
Marching on
Into decay

Marching on
Into decay
