Metal Church - Anthem To The Estranged Lyrics
Starved for destination, a beggar man by tradeA desperate man needs more than someone else to blameFriendless he appears, he hides behind his tearsFor things he's lost, or things he'll never have at allThe forgotten man wanders misplaced in the worldObscurity is all the eye can see, and I recallAll alone againAs we pass on by and continue with our dayCan we appraise the quality of life some other way?All alone againWhen you take a longer look at someone on the runYou may see reflections of yourself becoming oneTake an extra moment when you find yourself at peaceTo think about your values and your own affluencyEverything you've worked for and everything you've doneMay be thrown by the wayside, and you're not the only oneEverything around you may seen worn and overusedBut imagine yourself removed from all that you're used toAll alone againOnce an influential man, once was in his primeHe spends his days repeating lines like "can you spare a dime?"Shunned by those loved you and by those who were your friendsCan you adjust to a different life of living on the edge?The destitute find meaning in a different way of lifeThe doorways that they dwell in are shelter in the nightNo shining crystal possessions set out for his displayHis purpose is to find the food to get him throught the dayAll alone againRoaming aimless through the streets of supply and demandOnce a gypsy disconnected, no more, no future plansSelf discarded king of ruin, worthless to the worldFight to keep his sanity, his voice is never heardYou may think it thoughtless and his mind is on a string (?)He always seems to find a reason to him through the dayAll alone againHe staggers down the alley to drink his spirits by himselfAs he prays to God that he wakes up somewhere else
