Travelling Alone
Woods of Ypres
Letra

When I was questioned
I shook my head and stared
I was traveling alone
And had nothing to declare

He asked how I knew for sure
And would I tell everyone I knew
If it would hurt to know the truth

I can be thankful to be alive
But I despise this life
In all my years, at best
Have only learned just to survive

But when I look around you
I understand why you believe
I see your evidence of God all around me

You have so therefore you are
But I have not
You've seen the evidence of God
But I have not and I have none

(When he asked me)
I shook my head and laughed
I never had a taste for life
And I felt there was no turning back

Would I try to take away their hope?
Replace it with reality
Exchange their joy with my bleak view
And leave them miserable like me?

I have searched
And I have tried
To find a place where I can be
I love my homeland dearly
But never carved a place in society

But when I look around you
I understand why you believe
I see your evidence of God all around me

You have so therefore you are
But I have not
You are too rich for hate
And I am too poor to love

When I asked him
He shook his head and stared
I see no evidence of God
In the men from the West
