lyrics

The Unknown Man

Something right out of science fiction
With high fidelity broadcast definition
There are elements of supernatural embrace
Some have even seen the man with the unknown face

There is no record of anyone fitting that description
With an explanation of someone seeing him in their dreams
Just where does he come from?
And where will he go?
The unknown man
What does he have to show?

An unsolved mystery read in magazines
A shadowy type figure unidentifiably
A tall distinguish type with dark thick eyebrows
Who creeps into your dream to borrow your fear

A facial recognition taken from a far away place
An interpretation of events considered to be unsafe
Fingerprint detection leads to no clue or no trace
DNA analysis discovers no history or race

There is no record of anyone fitting that description
With an explanation of someone seeing him in their dreams
Just where does he come from?
And Where will he go?
The unknown man
What does he have to show?

Evoked in literature
Seeking answers from knowledge
Searching threw the ancient scrolls
Without anyway to know

What I will discover?
Just what will I find?
I have no passport
Have no ID
I have no idea how you see me

I am one of them
I am one of you
I am no different
Me or you

You are the same
There’s no one to blame
We breathe the same air
No one to share

Something right out of science fiction
With high fidelity broadcast definition
There are elements of supernatural embrace
Some have even seen the man with the unknown face

There is no record of anyone fitting that description
With an explanation of someone seeing him in their dreams
Just where does he come from?
And Where will he go?
The unknown man
What does he have to show?

The Unknown Man....
