Lyrics
Man Of Sorrows
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.
Here in a church, a small boy is kneeling
He prays to a god, he does not know, he cannot feel
All of his sins of childhood, he will remember
He will not cry, tears he will not cry
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
A small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over? Has it just begun?
A vision of a new world, from the ashes of the old
"Do what thou wilt!", he screams from his cursed soul
A tortured seer, a prophet of our emptiness
Wondering why, wondering why
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
A small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over? Has it just begun?
A man of sorrows racked, with thoughts that dare not
Speak their name
Trapped inside a body, made to feel only guilt and shame
His anger all his life "I hate myself!", he cried
"Do what thou wilt! Do what thou wilt!", he cried
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
A small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over? Has it just begun?
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
A small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over? Has it just begun?
