In a previous life, I did not complain
I lived like a hermit, I bathed in the rain
I sat on the hillside with a creek rolling by
The city was burning, the smoke filled the sky
In a previous life, my tongue it swore
Never train mine or another's hand for war
Because before that I had slaughtered at will
Battered and brainwashed only to kill
In a previous life, I wrote and I sang
Poems and ballads of love and of pain
I wandered between towns with debris in my hand
Though I was weary, I traveled the land
