Analysis of Lost Horizon
I am unknown
You don't know me
I don't want you too
I am the enigma
I am certain
My world is different
Past and present
Glory and pain
Sorrow and shame
Where do I rest
My heart is weary
Time is slipping away
I feel old
I am ruined
My castles cast down
My rivers dried as mud
This world offers nothing
My time is short
Whence I cling to nothing
I become dust
