Oh what misery descends upon me And oh, what things I see which will never be What treasures are left to be found And will heralding horns make their sound? Atlantis lies asleep in its watery grave No more lives nor souls to save No more secret paths through woods to discover Nor ancient relics to recover Oh, what pitiful, miserable wretch Nothing left down the stretch All the lessons have been learned And all the bridges have been burned Too many sunsets wasted And too many salty tears tasted No more innocent hearts unbroken All the lies between the truth are spoken I took all the world would give And yet, still on I live Oh me, pitiful, miserable wretch Misery is all there is, and nothing left |

superb PK. . . this really conveys the sense of loss and misery that you were going after. . . I could feel it. . . ------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
