Page 89 - Labyrinth--Suburban Stardust

I was alone in the most difficult days I heard
The saddest melodies
And the screams of children
And the sorrow of fathers and mothers And the destroying of countries
and the departure of friends
And I saw
The rotten hearts The hated faces
And I tasted the blood and the desert And smelled the smoke and dust
I was alone in the most difficult days and felt the tears of hope
