The Ol' Light-Bringer

Verse 1

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

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

This wind's blowin' cold and a storm's movin' in
Gotta rest my tired wings for the night
But afore I kin land, or understand
I behold a supernatural light

The sky comes afire with the heat of gods
And the voice of the Father is heard
Pourin' forth energy 'cross the untamed sea
Breathin' form by his Wisdom and Word

Chorus 2

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

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.
