Blackdown

And I walked west Sussex sunlightUp by dead mans poolWhere ma, mudlark and lewesStared me down, you drunken foolOld teenage debts engulfed my chestAs I contemplate deathPut a challenge to its glamourAnd all its loss and gloryWet afternoon breathWas taken deep into my lungsThinking of the man I must becomeMy story has just begunAnd I will be returning to myself soonFor I've been alone for too manyOf the great moments in my lifeAlone like so manyBut at this moment in my life.....Father, father, any way I can help ye?I am only just growing better to know thee....Thank you for all the things you've given to our family...Given with your heart to your wife and my sister and me...Now I look out west of battle where our ancestors lie in grave,Out to breed where the blacksmith put root to our family name...I get proud of my birthright,Think of the things I must leaveWhen I leave behind the cityAnd the livingFinally(The temple of the winds blows, until the boy wakes from his six year slumber... alive, alone, we take the next step)DesireDesireDeep down inside of meYou are not the maker nor the master of meHelp me to better support my familyTo better better of a brother be....DesireDesireDeep down inside of meYou are not the wrecker nor the ruler of meDesireDesireDeep down in meI've been alone for so many of these great moments in my life...Lone like so manyBut at this moment of my lifeDesire, despair and deathI challenge thee...All as I walked up on blackdown
