Anyway, People Die

Who am I? Who do you say I am? As I hobble on to the land of the dull... Wings or wheels, wings or wheels? Now I'm like a silly boy. Now I'm like the Wandering Jew. He goes on, but I linger. The rain makes 

Scythes 
And the oil staggers 
Over waters 
Blue sky may stay 
Blue sky or grey 
And the rain falls 
On life 
On life 
On life 
On life 
On life 
And once you go beyond 
Once you go beyond 
The line between 
Human 
And inhuman 
Disappears 
Disappears 
Disappears... 
How the trees stand 
Oh how the wind strives 
And people to bend 
Are we left with nothing? 
A Cross appears 
Between the horns 
Of a stag 
And burning light 
Blinds the hunter 
And firstly I stood proud 
Fuelled by white and beast 
Then bowed till I... 
Almost broken 
A row of Christs 
Stare down on me 
And their several likenesses 
Flame and torch my walls 
Othal, odal bloody 
Then scared and scabbed 
Who am I? 
Who do you say am? 
As I hobble on 
To the land of the dull 
Wings or wheels 
Wings or wheels 
Now I'm like a silly boy 
Now I'm like the Wandering Jew 
And he goes on 
And thus I linger 
And anyway 
People die
