A Simple Answer

Those saints in lockstep

All crossed the wasteland

Forever gone

They'll hum and walk along

Plod ever onward

Across some tundra

The light is long

But it's not long before it's gone

Well fine

And it calls you back to mind

At once

At last

Oh goodness mercy mine

Soldier on

But please not so long this time

Too young and thoughtless

To calm your memories

I know it's wrong

Just give until it's gone

Some tired mantra

Calls ever onward

Shout it loud

Just make it up somehow

Well alright

And it'll call you back to mind

At once

At last

Oh goodness mercy mine

Soldier on

But please not so long

This time

Move on let's face

That all you trust is a cynical phrase

No time no place

When all you hope is that everything breaks

No wrong or right

Just do whatever you like

No wrong or right

Just do whatever you like

No wrong or right

Just do whatever you like

No bliss no light

Tell me it's all just a lie

You can't scare me none

I'm still the lucky one
