Metal Church lyrics : "Anthem To The Estranged"

Starved for destination
A beggar man by trade
A desperate man needs more than someone else to blame

Friendless he appears, he hides behind his tears
For things he's lost, or things he'll never have at all


The forgotten man wanders misplaced in the world
Obscurity is all the eye can see and I recall


All alone again

As we pass on by and continue with our day

Can we appraise the quality of life some other way?

All alone again


When you take a longer look at someone on the run
You may see reflections of yourself becoming one

Take an extra moment when you find yourself at peace
To think about your values and your own afluency


Everything you've worked for, and everything you've done
May be thrown to the wayside and you're not the only one
Everything around you may seem worn and overused

But imagine yourself removed from all that you're used to

All alone again


Once an influential man, once was in his prime
He spends his days repeating lines like

Shunned by those who loved you, and by those who where your friends
Can you adjust to a different life living on the edge?


The destitute find meaning in a different way of life
The doorways that they dwell in are shelter in the night
No shining crystal possessions set out for his display

His purpose is to find the food to get him through the day

All alone again


Roaming aimless through the streets of supply and demand
Once a gypsy disconnected, no more, no future plans

Self discarded king of ruin, worthless to the world
Fight to keep his sanity, his voice is never heard


You may think he's thoughtless and his mind's gone astray
He always seems to find a reason to get him through the day


All alone again

He staggers down the alley to drink his spirits by himself

As he prays to God that he wakes up somewhere else
