Verse 1[edit]
Well I come a long way to get where I am
Out here on the wild frontier
Ain't much to see in the nethermost Deep
'Neath hell and yer darkest fears
I been through bog and I been through steep
Through strait and rough and rare
Ain't no man's slave, always made my own way
And if you get in it, best beware
Chorus 1[edit]
Surrounded by blackness
Where angels don't tread
This ol' pioneer
Don't feel no dread
I'm a lone survivor
Seen my legions fall
Now I'm out for vengeance
Damn you all!
Verse 2[edit]
This wind's blowin' cold and a storm's movin' in
Gotta rest my tired wings for the night
But before I make camp or douse my lamp
I behold a supernatural light
The sky comes afire like a blacksmith's forge
And the voice of the One is heard
Night gives way to morn as matter takes form
From the being of the primordial Word
Chorus 2[edit]
Surrounded by wonder
The music of spheres
Never seen nothin' like it
Not this ol' pioneer
I gaze on this artifice
A huge machine
Turnin' round on the Sun
How I hate thy beams!
Chorus 3[edit]
Surrounded by misery
Wherever I go
A material symphony
I'll never know
This brave new world
Made for somebody else
Not this ol' pioneer
Aw hell.
