Lyrics
So Ends Another Life
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.
In a world of education there's no time for compassion
Life's a fire, never ending, bringing pain and then befriending
And like a fire that burns no light
And drifts to heaven, so ends another life
Is there time to care, it's only fair that life goes on
And on and on and on 'til in the end you can't go on
So ends another life to let this world go on
Don't cry for pity my friend, you never gave none
There's a hunter with his gun pointing upwards to the sun
Thinks a bird can feel no pain, if it can it won't again
And like a fire that burns no light
And drifts to heaven, so ends another life
Is there time to care, it's only fair that life goes on
And on and on and on 'til in the end you can't go on
So ends another life to let this world go on
Don't cry for pity my friend, you never gave none
So ends another life to let this world go on
Don't cry for pity my friend, you never gave none
So ends another life to let this world go on
Don't cry for pity my friend...
