It's a Shame

[Music Dragon]

Sleep and wake,
live and die.
It's the same.

I was never one for weddings.
I'm more of a funeral man.
No one ends up where they're heading.
Nothing goes the way you plan.

I was young.
I grew up.
It's a shame.

I've lived life a lonely teacher.
Nobody has learned a thing.
You just see a crazy preacher.
You don't want the truth I bring.

You're so young.
You'll grow up.
I'm to blame.

Travel down the darkest alley.
See if you can find your light.
At the bottom of the valley,
you will learn that I was right.

I grew up.
You'll grow up.
We're the same.

Men in churches, greedy, plotting,
tell you there's a final goal.
They will end up dead and rotting,
deep in some forgotten hole.

They'll grow up,
live and die.
They're to blame.

I was once a man of weddings.
I was once asleep and young.
Now the hollow future dreading,
I am but a rusted tongue.

Sleep and wake,
live and die.
It's a shame.
