Anthem to the Estranged (Live in Japan) Lyrics by Metal Church

From the Vault

0

Starved for destination
A beggar man by trade
A desperate man needs more
Than someone else to blame
Friendless it appears
He hides behind his tears
For things he's lost
Or things he'll never have at all
The forgotten man wanders
Misplaced in the world
Obscurity is all the eye can see, and I recall
All alone again
As we pass on by and continue with our day
Can we appraise the quality
Of life some other way?
All alone again
When you take a longer look
At someone on the run
You may see reflections of
Yourself becoming one
Take an extra moment
When you find yourself at peace
To think about your values
And your own affluency
Everything you've worked for
And everything you've done
May be thrown by the wayside
And you're not the only one
Everything around you
May seem worn and overused
But imagine yourself removed
From all that you're used to
All alone again
Once an influential man
Once was in his prime
He spends his days repeating lines
Like "can you spare a dime?"
Shunned by those who loved you
And by those who were your friends
Can you adjust to a different life
Of living on the edge?
The destitute find meaning
In a different way of life
The doorways that they dwell in
Are shelter in the night
No shining crystal possessions
Set out for his display
His purpose is to find the food
To get him through the day
All alone again
Roaming aimless through the streets
Of supply and demand
Once a gypsy disconnected
No more, no future plans
Self discarded king of ruin
Worthless to the world
Fight to keep his sanity
His voice is never heard
You may think it's thoughtless
And his mind has gone astray
He always seems to find a reason
To get him through the day
All alone again
He staggers down the alley
To drink his spirits by himself
As he prays to God that he
Wakes up somewhere else
