The Stranger

So close but yet so far

Prodigal son, you shine just like a star

But as you know

The light that burns twice as bright

Burns half as long, right

That's just the way it is

And you wish if you could change

Turn back the time

But the grip of addiction is o' so tight

A reflection of northern overkill

Endless search for continuous thrill

Staring out over the bridge

Into the water deep down below

Cannot find any rhyme or reason

To go on

It makes you suffer, it makes you cry

You don't know who you are

The Stranger

Now servant on the other side

Personality never identified

Well I don't have to be back

Just see the shadows fall

Like a breath of a dying god

No more things to say

Take me home

Staring out over the bridge

Into the water deep down below

Cannot find any rhyme or reason

To go on

It makes you suffer, it makes you cry

You don't know who you are

The Stranger

Now servant on the other side

Personality never identified
