Out from the sea of discontent

The seekers of the dark enchantment

They pray to wishing wells and stars
E
They ride the hurricane of hope

Not looking back but on they go

Toward the distance and deceiving

The hunt begins again
E
They search the subways and the streets

Their faces tired, like their feet

Their bodies aching to be warm
E

And so they hide behind the moon
E
Their loneliness inside them growing

But they take comfort in just knowing
E
That they are special and apart
