Shapes of things before my eyes just help me to despise
Will time make man more wise?
Here within my lonely frame, my eyes just hurt my brain
Will time make man more sane?

Come tomorrow will I be older?
Come tomorrow, maybe a soldier, now listen
Come tomorrow, maybe I'm older than today?

Here within my lonely frame my eyes just hurt my god-darn brain
Will time make man more sane?
