See the gloom that fills this room
Listen to my silver whispering tears
Watch the thick yellow fog
Around me includes all my fears
All the memories to come
A tribute to the future
A dying nation to my ears
A place to be near
You can't feel what you see
You can never be set free
The landmarks of tomorrow
The graves from today
The setting sun, the rising moon
The dawn of the day
The pioneer travellers in s***e
The desert is crying wind
Another second you pop
And the comfort that it brings
Now you see me crawling
On my hands and knees
Your respect for my face
Is now going to cease
Oh no
Don't you leave me alone
I'm naked, I'm cold
And I'm so far from home.
