Elegy

Elegy - Solitary Day lyrics

[Music: Henk van der Laars & Dirk Bruinenberg]

[Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry]

Paranoia slowly starts to take effect.

His huge fortune has created many enemies.

In haste he searches for solitude.

Secluded from the outside world, he lives in a fragile sense of security.

Locked away he hopes to find peace of mind,

but instead he's haunted by the terrifying images in his dreams.

Images of those whose lives he so mercilessly helped to destroy.

[Verse]

All of that money you've made

From all of those souls with their lives they've paid now

Lost your pride, locked inside

Where's the light at the end of the road

[Bridge]

Blame and sorrow

No more day, just, tomorrow

Close the door, turn the key

Lock the misery away!

You're living in an ivory tower

[Verse]

All of the guilt you should feel when all of the torment you caused was real

Truth you've found, changed your made

At the end of the road there's a light

[Bridge]

So many places, hidden lies, saddened faces

Close the door take the key, try and throw it away far, far away

[Chorus]

In a solitary day

There's a solitary point of view

Hide the fear away!

That's the price you have to pay

[Middle-8]

They're coming to get you, put boards on your windows

It won't take 'em long 'till they find out a way

Don't sleep stay awake now, look over your shoulder

Your enemy's coming to take you away!

[Chorus]

In a solitary day, there's a solitary point of view

Hide your fear away, it strips away the good in you

[Repeat chorus]
