A hundred thousand million miles
The gravel crushed beneath my boots
The tires kicking up the rest
In cars and busses, kicking loose
The red clay coating my own skin
The loss of life has let me in
The memories and the dreams I've had
Completely dead and gone's the past
Alone with homeland devastated
Gone, I am emancipated
Tops of mountains I have toppled
Wearing shoes I should have cobbled
All of hell has let me in
While heaven sings about my sins
I have broken far beyond
The filthy hole you left me in
But I am not a man of war
A lone survivor of your storms
Washed upon your beaches here
If you can't trust me, that's your fear
I have fought for love and light
And not the way you gave up sight
With falling walls, forgotten kings
I am destruction, spreading wings

You lost.
