In my twenty-seventh year I set out to confront my fears And found the role of a lifetime You see, two plus seven is nine And the ninth card in the tarot Is that hermit i came to know In london i did deprave As if beyond the grave From my hermit's cave
Over my shoulder to… Source of life Come as prisoner of love Source of life Come as prisoner of love Hermit's cave Hermit's cave Source of life Come as prisoner of love
I rarely ever went outside Excepting the daily stride I made me a weekly pot And read bible quite a lot There, true loneliness i did learn Then i got a sick from admiral byrd My catharsis was crushed in a wave And my family i did crave Oh, wretched hermit's cave!
Over my shoulder to… Source of life Come as prisoner of love Source of life Come as prisoner of love Hermit's cave Hermit's cave Source of life Come as prisoner of love
