Lyrics for In the Wilderness

Leaving all the world to play they disappear And the leaves have gathered dust to run like deer Tearing pieces from our lives to feed the dawn Mist surrounds the seagulls, christened by the storm Music, all I hear is music Guaranteed to please And I look for something else Rain drops pouring down the rooftops Flowing in the drains As the people run their lives As their lives are run by time Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill Death is easy as a substitute for pride Victors join together, happy in their bed Leaving cold outside the children of the dead Music, all I hear is music Guaranteed to please And I look for something else Rain drops pouring down the rooftops Flowing in the drains As the people run their lives As their lives are run by time Music, all I hear is music Guaranteed to please And I look for something else Rain drops pouring down the rooftops Flowing in the drains As the people run their lives As their lives are run by time Music, all I hear is music Guaranteed to please And I look for something else Rain drops pouring down the rooftops Flowing in the drains As the people run their lives As their lives are run by time Music, all I hear is music Guaranteed to please
