[Verse 1]
Oh, I was sent to find the lonesome place
Where I was lost but left a trace
By carving riddles on the lonesome vine
Oh, but rumor has it that I wasn't born
I just walked in one frosty morn
Into the vision of some vacant mind

[Chorus 1]
Oh, once I held a pony by its flying mane
And once I called the shadow in the turning game
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow, dear

[Verse 2]
Oh, Xavier's on the border of the sun
Swings on the chambers of your guns
And tries to shoot the chord and light the path
Oh, but hell, I'm just a blind man on the plains
I drink my water when it rains
And live by chance among the lightning strikes

[Chorus 1]
Oh, once I held a glacier to an open flame
And once I fell like wildcat in the fallen game
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow, dear
[Chorus 2]
Oh, the singer's on the edge to feed the canyon's mouth
They will go on forever till they sing you out of time
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow, dear

[Chorus 2]
Oh, the singer's on the edge to feed the canyon's mouth
They will go on forever till they sing you out of time
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow, dear
