lyrics

People come ’n’ people go
They don’t say Goodbye, they don’t say Hello
What are they looking for in vain
On their pilgrimage
towards St.Ostrich
on the isle of restraint?

They wanna be King, they wanna be Queen
piously praying for their reign
When will they ever have their realm?
On their sea voyage
Hope for advantage
of finally steering their own helm

“Master give me my empire
Nothing more is my desire
What d’you want from me to do?
I’m being loyal
I toil and moil
to be the captain of the crew”

“My dearest daughter do not mope
about your circumscribed scope
You have to yield to superior force
Don’t complain
and do refrain
from any changes of the course!”

My life is coming to an end
and eventhough I do dissent
I can’t escape my body’s demise
This mortal coil
will end in soil
For Aeons and Aeons I’ll eat mushy pies

People come ’n’ people go
They don’t say Goodbye, they don’t say Hello
What are they looking for in vain
On their pilgrimage
towards St.Ostrich
on the isle of restraint?
