Lyrics
A pen wants a paper
A man wants a saviour
A trouble wants the answer
A life wants delay
He digs higher and higher
The tides reach the bottom
His gyre spins slower and slower
A pretty leaf dying in autumn
The cat purrs beside a beggar
An abyss fills the space
The world we see soon forgotton
With only memory to replace
Time slowly races around
The prisoner does not want to leave
Opposition makes a greater sound
