Heavy Hangs The Albatross
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've made up my mind and I will be leaving
Leaving this cruel, dark world
For the soulless to share
But first
Women will shriek and watch their husbands bleed
Child will cry (child will cry)
And watch their mothers die
Because tonight (because tonight)
Tonight we all go to hell!
Why?
I have to let go of what happened to my love
I am taking out on everyone else
All the problems I've brought on myself
When I made your heart melt
My belle, we soon will meet again
There's nothing left for me to lose
Except confusion
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away
There's no one left to talk me down
My feet are slipping
One day oh I hope my name doesn't bring back memories
Of the day that I left her
Goodbye, so long
My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after
For better, or even for worse
Remember me forever
Now the only question left is how
To take you all down with me
The coroner will have his hands full tonight
That is if he is not among the dead
Dead will choke the streets with such vulgarity that grown men will weep
And then you will find the end is drawing night
There's nothing left for me to lose
Except confusion
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away
There's no one left to talk me down
My feet are slipping
One day oh I hope my name doesn't bring back memories
Of the day that I left her
Goodbye, so long
My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after
For better, or even for worse
Remember me
The dizziness stuns me
Would someone please distract me?
Can I really get through this?
Can I really betray myself?
For better, for worse, remember forever
(There's sweat on my hands and a knife at my throat)
The dizziness stuns me
Would someone please distract me?
(And as the blade bites my skin Annabel appears)
Can I really get through this?
Can I really betray myself?
For better, for worse, remember forever
(For better, or for worse, remember me forever)
One day oh I hope my name doesn't bring back memories
Of the day that I left her
Goodbye, so long
My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after
For better, or even for worse
Remember me forever
