lyrics
who stands before me in the cooling air of night
where I've wandered off so far above the city's light
and now I'll ask you stranger to tell me if you can
who are you that neither is shade or living man
"who I am you'll understand at least before the end
but for now it's getting dark, it seems you'll need a friend
death has found so many here, with none to hear a sound
when the leaves of autumn fall and lay upon the ground"
I know the dangers all too well and venture just the same
the valley cannot be my home for the suffering and shame
I've the call of solitude, far from peoples strife
in the shadow of the lesser light I'll lead a hermits life
"as you are I once was, and like me you're stubborn with pride
oh who has let you down so far that now you run and hide
but right or wrong night and day or just a bleak grey sky
the way you've come is really no place to live or die
so speak of horror and paradise, then name your enemies well
you may try the way that I have done and send them all to hell
but first you'll have to see the world, much more than you'd like to know
and the hour is at hand, now it's time to go"
