The beginning of the work: the becoming aware of the sordid state of affairs and the resolve to withdraw from all that was known.
lyrics
I wake up in my room
Alone again
I cling to the echoes
Of my dreams
For there I am surrounded
By friends
Before they fade back
To memory
So I crown myself
With Sorrow
And lament the loss
Of sleep
I hang my head
In my hands
And I weep, and weep
And weep
I get up and put on
My slippers
I climb down the mountain
Spine of stairs
The atmosphere sends me
A shiver
And the shadows have me
Running scared
So I'll hide away
My treasures
And withhold
The light of day
I'll scorn all joy
And pleasure
And I'll make my
Home of clay
