A fallen tree
just like me
lost in the woods
of History
and you you fly
above the ground
you look around
but never down
you can't see me
for Heaven's sake
In the mirror
on the lake
You can't hear me
now or ever
and yet you think
you are so clever
you think you read
my open book
turn the cover
and take a look
You don't know me
never will
I stood beside you
on the hill
and down the road
we go alone
the end is darkness
and a silent moan
All in all
the past has passed
goodwill toward men
until the last
If man was born
then man will die
it's a fact of life
one can't deny
I gave you Liberty
you gave me death
we've lost our way
I'm out of breath
Last Breath
