Commandment (1984)

(verse 1)

losing faith losing grip on a firm reality

where to go when I'm feeling lonely?

so what if my moral compass can't point me to

the north, south, or east I guess I'll just go west

(chorus)

it hurts, the wounds of time

but I fight on anyways

it burns, but I say righteous

playing dirty and winning

are the same thing isn't that right?

it's my commandment

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

I've lived without love for so long

so what is a few more decades?

a little something sweet to tide me over

but when I receive just one kiss

I want another

(chorus)

I'm happy, living in a closed world

the wilderness is my home

and I know, no man can sustain me

these tears that fall on their own

are my ten commandments

rules just for me

(end chorus)

(bridge)

tomorrow and the next day by day

I'll still be alone but that's alright

I am not scared of the night anymore

(chorus)

I'm strong, don't need a man

I can be all on my own

I'm free, it tastes savory

no more tears for all these years

I've got a long life left to live

I won't give up easily

it hurts, the wounds of time

but I fight on anyways

it burns, but I say righteous

playing dirty and winning

are the same thing isn't that right?

it's my commandment

(end chorus)
