The nothingness of life Plunged into eternal darkness An animal at bay Words cannot convey All is bathed in grey A cold wind's blow It's touch and go If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride A torrid time A strange design Come hell or high water, come be the guide I am here, down the ages The road in deep despair I'm solitaire The diamond in your chain The beacon fire in endless strain The diamond in your chain Is there a ghost of chance? Here on this road to Damascus The sun of eventide Temptations misguide The agony inside Crash and burn At every turn Helplessly losing perception of time A friendly card A strange regard Searching for reason and seeking for rhyme I am here, down the ages The road in deep despair I'm solitaire The diamond in your chain The beacon fire in endless strain The diamond in your chain I am here, down the ages The road in deep despair I'm solitaire The diamond in your chain The beacon fire in endless strain The diamond in your chain Pylon in the rain Beacon in the strain Pylon in the rain Diamond in the chain I'm solitaire, I'm solitaire Solitaire, I'm solitaire, woo-oo-oh Diamond in your chain
