Solitary Lyrics

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 doubts from what I've
seen
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
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 him 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 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 doubts from what I've seen
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
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 doubts from what I've
seen
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
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
