Now I'm a native son in a foreign land and I'm just living in a world I can't understand. I look around and see that my world is gone still I keep trying to fit in where I don't belong.
I'm sitting here alone in darkness waiting to be free, lonely and forlorn I am crying, i long for my time to come. Death means just life, please let me die in solitude.
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
Time will go on and we are drifting away in the night. I've been searching so long, but I will find you even if it takes my whole life, but tonight I feel so alone and I know that you are forever gone.
I won't bring no material in the after life, take no possessions, I would rather travel light. I'm of this kind that kills all day, but I don't know yet how to die.
Now a shadow on a hill, the angel of the east, the empire of the clouds may rest in peace.
And in a country churchyard laid head to the mast, eight and forty souls who came to die in France.
