the hermit

cellar darling

lonesome soul

where did you go?

an aging wall of stone impedes the path

guarding the old man's tranquil hearth

forever alone

awaiting the unknown

hoi polloi. hoi hoi polloi

he has turned his back on you

hoi polloi. hoi hoi polloi

ward his solemn soul from you

never held

never felt love

cold and tired

the old man dies

a raging fire befall the path

holding the ashes of his lair

forever alone

forever at home

hoi polloi. hoi hoi polloi

he has turned his back on you

hoi polloi. hoi hoi polloi

ward his solemn soul from you

never held

never felt love
