Do we perceive the unknown within us, do we sing as we once sang?

The vanguards fell before this day.

But the air today is sour.

Alone I defend a wall that is not mine.

Alone I defend an air that is not mine.

Alone on the city's roof I stand.

The phoenix emerged and the clouds scattered.

Alone I contend with my bereaved soul.

And it refuses to help me against myself.

And I was alone, alone when I resisted alone.

And even the living betrayed him.
