Analysis of Pity
--In the mist of summer rain you will see my soul unbroken by turmoil
--I have remained unchained by laws that man has brought to soil
--And I shall drift on past this place of distress to a place serenity
--Above all that is corrupt and wicked
--Where all men long to be
--And I will have pity on you that have lost your way
--For you have no tomorrow to live for today.
