   Sunset is an angel weeping
  Holding out a bloody sword
  No matter how I squint I cannot
  Make out what it's pointing toward
  Sometimes you feel like you've lived too long
  The days drip slowly on the page
  And you catch yourself
  Pacing the cage
  
  I've proved who I am so many times,
  The magnetic strip's worn thin
  And each time I was someone else
  And everyone was taken in.
  Powers chatter in high places
  Stir up eddies in the dust of rage
  Set me to pacing the cage.
  
  I never knew what you all wanted
  So I gave you everything.
  All that I could pillage
  All the spells that I could sing
  It's as if the thing were written
  In the constitution of the age
  Sooner or later you'll wind up
  Pacing the cage
  
  Sometimes the best map will not guide you
  You can't see what's round the bend.
  Sometimes the road leads through dark places
  Sometimes the darkness is your friend.
  Today these eyes scan bleached-out land,
  For the coming of the outbound stage
  Pacing the cage...
