The Grey Curtain Of The North

When the great grey curtain is falling down
A man cracks a way in the dark
The fragments of his raptured soul
Spreading them in the northern sky
Through the light like stardust of a falling star
Through the stratosphere
Up and down collapsing to the ground
Where it belongs and where you truly are

For nothing the years turn to a start
For nothing the places we'd been were recalled
For nothing we lived like poles apart
For nothing there's no home for men like we are

When the Great Grey Curtain is fallen down
There's no more stardust or falling star
The soul fragments lying in the sand
By the river shore of another continent
Will you go and gather them?
Fractured pieces of your past
I know it's a hard and a wrong fight
Trying to leave all the memories behind

For nothing, we choose again to restart
For nothing the nightmares were blown apart
For nothing it burns like Churchill's cigar
For nothing it's pale as autumn's heart
For nothing we share our bed every night
For nothing we walked those unknown miles
For nothing our scars are healed now so dark
For nothing we forget the faces we liked

So many cities, so many miles
So many people you left behind
So many loves and so many friends
I don't want to be a different man
