I'm on the verge of breaking through

Into the light for me and you

Will it be then that I reach the end?

I see strange people on this treacherous path

Some of them cry and some of them laugh

And some of them are too content to contend

And the ones in power they're indifferent

They're building up energy that's already spent

They're playing a game, attack and defend

In Lebanon they play a funeral dirge

We draw the lines that will soon converge

In a purple night flash the shadows that we send



The path is my life and truth is the end

Passion my protector and loneliness my friend

I don't understand it. I don't understand

I don't understand it at all



Let the soothsayers say what they will

They left Jesus up on the hill

Whatever happened to Corporal Claig?

Moving through the sidewalk steaam

I wonder if it's just a dream

Why are politics so very vague



When at last the truth comes through

I hope it is seen by me and you

Maybe this is not the only end
