Verse 1

A gypsy of a strange and distant time
Travelling in panic, all direction blind,
Aching for the warmth of a burning sun,
Freezing in the emptiness of where he'd come from.

Verse 2

Speeding through a shadow of a million years
Darkness is the only sound to reach his ears,
Frightening him with visions of eternity,
Screaming for a future that could never be.

Left without a hope of coming home.
