on the old forgotten crossways. where the fourteen rivers did meet. the bones of our elders. lying in the street. on a dark and dusty deserts. like a ghost I've flown. I barely cried when I arrived. I never found a home. ooh feel the strain of sorrow. never ceasing. ooh feel the strain of sorrow. never ceasing. I am a ramshackler. go from town to town. and when there is no shelter. I lay down on the ground. I killed every reason. they gave for me to stay. cussed the morning burned the bone. and dragged that thing away. mmm to the peace of sorrow. never ceasing. mmm to the strain of sorrow. never ceasing. there's saints and there is animals. they've taken what they could. and it's written in the pages. do just like they should. they stood the test and burned the rest. and tore them limb from limb. and it's marked upon their faces. it's written on their skin. ooh feel the strain of sorrow. never ceasing. mmm feel the strain of sorrow. never ceasing.
