I don't your manners
Cannot read your banners
Lost my bearings and do not know the ways

You don't know my anguish
Cannot speak my language
See these foreign fashions and take me for a stray

Reduced to mime or babble
Forever helpless to unravel the clues
Still I'll always share a border with you

You're a luminary
Sought for sanctuary
The blinding brilliance a gauge of my despair

Put me in your gunsights
Come at me with those searchlights
Exacting duty on all that I declare

Banished to the margin
Where I ever am discharging my dues
Still I'm always on the border of you

You've got flags to wave
And armies of soldiers for your parades
But all the queen's horses and all the queen's men
All of them a charade

It's a lonely long while
Been too long in exile
Silently cursing the day we drew apart

Nothing breaks the quiet
Nothing stills the riot
That burns my head and cuts me to the heart

While you're sequestered
Behind diplomatic gestures I see through
Still I'm always on the border of you

Out of myth and mysteries
Boasting noble histories
We bare teeth, hissing in senseless self disgrace

We quake and rattle
Primed for deadly battle
A call to arms that are not to embrace

In the name of borders
On guard, awaiting orders to move
Still I'll always share a border with you
