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
