I'm a maDn, without a Dwitness
no one to Dhold me to my Dtask
along these Bmstreets i Atravel Glightly
no one to aDnswer Anot to Dask
I've found no Dcomfort in this Dcity
just a Dplace for me to Dhide
when all the Bmhiders Aand the Gseekers
They all lay Dcoldly Aon there Dsides
so i will Atravel Gin the Dmorning
to where my Gjourney first Dbegan
back to the Aland that Gbore my BmfatherG  
the badlands Djust can't Abe my Dhome
Here they Aserve a Gpuppet Dking
he Abows to Ghis own Dthrown
and if Aever there was Gone good thing
that Dkept this place Bmalive
well it's Egone, it's Ggone
my thoughts have Dnever left you Ddarling
the morning Dsun on your sweet Dface
and how the Bmdarkness Aheld my Gpromiss
to come back Dhome tAo you onDe day
so i will Atravel Gin the Dmorning
to where my Gjourney first Dbegan
back to the Aland that Gbore my BmfatherG  
the badlands jDust can't Abe mBmy homeG  
the badlands Djust can't Abe my Dhome
