In the Wilderness lyrics

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...
