Breathless
Breathless
In this night of loathsome air
Beneath a callous sky
Alone and vagrant, where you cry
With no pastoral, pleading prayer
Days of wonder
Left far behind
Trampled by the daily grind
Lost in greed's unselfish plunder
Speech left panting
Screams fearful out
Feeling each of every doubt
Hear them singing, mournful chanting
Leave them reel in mortal conflict
Let them rise and fall
