Analysis of Banish Me



Where shall insanity banish me

for there is no pain among it's volley

sweet serenity remember me

For I hope you'll understand minds in distant lands

Across seas from the soul the heart bleeds

and there is nothing left to see but the trees around me

Where shall insanity banish me for

there is no place I'd rather be

Sweet tranqility remember me

For while silent weeps cry nevermore

and follow sheep

lay a dream down to count the weeks

Look to the sky as the days grow ever weak

So please tell me..........

where shall insanity banish me
