Traveling Alone - Woods of Ypres

Written by：David Gold/Joel Violette

When I was questioned I shook my head and stared

I was traveling alone and had nothing to declare

He asked how I knew for sure

And would I tell everyone I knew

If it would hurt to know the truth

I can be thankful to be alive but I despise this life

In all my years at best I've only learned just to survive

But when I look around you I understand why you believe

I see your evidence of god all around me

You have so therefore you are but I have not

You've seen the evidence of god but I have not and I have none

I shook my head and laughed

I never had a taste for life

And I felt there was no turning back

Would I try to take away their hope

Replace it with reality

Exchange their joy with my bleak view

And leave them miserable like me

I have searched and I have tried to find a place where I can be

I love my homeland dearly but never carved a place in society

But when I look around you I understand why you believe

I see your evidence of god all around me

You have so therefore you are but I have not

You are too rich for hate and I am too poor to love

When I asked him he shook his head and stared

I see no evidence of god in the men from the west
