Free Ernest Melville

Await them in town, to arrive from sea Those who glow amidst war misery With minds like mine, sure there are more Yet honest tongues are few Mocked once for passion, ridiculed What's insane to you, to me is true Born too soon, attract anger from many They act like they don't want it too From '49 to this here day, justice has always slipped away I'm still here, eternal Look in the moon My darlings I was just like you Ignorance was what left me for dead I still see it now, in a hate filled few Until they leave I cannot rest Peace is my one last requisite Last orders for me shall remain unheard Until they change their views
