Epigraph
Slaves to their passion - so eager its will to perform

The arena was life but alone in deaths shadow they stand.
You brand the social leper - then spare no second thought

The Lonely One
Happy in solitude
Secure there's no-one to depend on
Scorning alms & good luck charms

Who didn't want no-one
You were the lonely one
No we didn't want no-one
Hear my hymn calling the lonely one
Hear my hymn for the lonely one
