Ask For Nothing and... Songtext
von Steven Kattenbraker

His dreary routine is ended and brings his demise
His eyes never opened, his face was a disguise
He perished in the waves of his obscurity
And he never could read the tides

The ledgers are filled with the lists he′d made
Line by line one fiction at a time
At night he slept in any doorway he found
He wouldn't get trapped or have to go out


He couldn′t keep a promise so a promise he never made
And he expected the same
His foes were windows and his comrades were mirrors
He pitted the unknown with the mundane

His mirrors returned his questions as answers
And he knew he could expect the same
He circled the globe with no stories to tell
No treasures no damsels no dragons to fell

Waiting around for his timer to go off
He'd been dead for years when his heart finally stopped
He buried himself when his time came
The water did fast work he didn't feel a thing

No doubts or favors owed and not a bit of shame
No slights, condemnation, and no one to blame
His dreary routine is ended and brings his demise
