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
In this picture stands a man,
Like a solitary field
far away, alone and distant.
All around the points of light
in some nameless foreign land.

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.

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.
