Future without a past,
Cause devoid of promise
Not a word, not a word, my friend.
Not because I hate you, but because I love you more
and I want you to learn...
You do not understand the meaning of love--
Not a bite, not a bite for my retching stomach.
I will not fall for self-indulgence when my cause is at stake
Let me go in the name of democracy.
Not a wink--not a wink of sleep tonight.
The night is too untrustworthy...
I must stand vigil, so no one else is hurt
and so I know it all wasn't a bad dream
Not another note of that haunting melody
It tells of those lost and forbidden
Whom I let go, for the sake of her soul
but should I have kept her here?
Past without a future,
Promise devoid of cause
