I met an unexpected traveller a man on the hill,
and he extended his hand and I expanded my will,
because I’d seen his shadow on the floor and on the wall,
but if I’m talking this talk I need to walk the walk.
Is it war? Don’t think I’ll ever be sure.
My 100% is 100% more,
Than the fallen boards calling his shadow to the door,
bringing instances of damage his effect to this cause.
More dawn, than the sky can provide,
I’ll ride higher than sun running into sunrise.
I’ll fight for what’s right, dry my eyes,
making a stand in this thinnest of light.
I’m surprised, things haven’t blown sky high.
I’m finding your time is twice as nice as mine.
And my loose lips are taller than his footprints.
Lipstick kisses scrubbing out in this final rinse.

I’m breathing in, I’m breathing out.
I am an earthquake unleashing a seismic shout.
I will open my mouth, so I can open your eyes.
Strip the fleece from the back of this wolf in disguise.
I see you leading, lambs to the slaughter –
what kind of example d’you set for your daughters?
Showing them the worst, that a man can do,
while you vow to protect them, from a man like you.

I met an unexpected traveller a man on the hill,
and it quickened my heart made my mind stand still.
I held on to my will and my mission was the way,
and my admission when you listened to the things I had to say,
was that, today is the day no more games,
quenching hell for one to raise another in flames.
And the basket case to bring the wind of change,
whispered promises of knowledge but gave a ball and chain.
We’re gonna break this water, this torture,
smoke and mirrors giving more than a thought,
to the daughters of the daughters and the sons of the corpses.
Tongues on gums reflect in water where he poured it.
This breeze breathing new life freely,
Is evenly distributed in favour of a new me.
I look into your reflection, say it with my chest,
injecting new perception my intention was the best.
