Lyrics:

Thoughts roamed around bleak clouded lanes
where lights decline.
Through grey cold mist heard chained pulsing hearts.
Lost days keep prisoner ghosts, old dreams still cry.

Past unwise deeds wildly sprouted,
hindered routes, when sound's beyond reach.
Once with clear night skies, plain truth's revealed.
Bright days concealed vast fears.

Courtyard's warm brown stones
surround this shelter's sparse mild grass.
Sweet memories in their cloister
while grand cosmic sights call them.

Yesterday, can't hide long in yesterday.
Today claims compliance.
