Lyrics
A MUSICIAN'S LAMENT
By David S. Becker
INTRO
VERSE 1
The thunder rolls
A cancer grows
The World spins madly
As your life implodes ...
It's such a heavy load
VERSE 2
The storms a rage
You turn a page
You watch from the bleachers
As they take the stage ...
As the war is waged
CHORUS
And once there was a fire in our eyes
We played with abandon and reached for the sky
And once there was music in our hearts
No ill-sorted wrangle could tear us apart ...
Played the fool from the start
VERSE 3
You brought them in
On them you did depend
Promises were broken
No chance to make amends ...
No chance to start again
VERSE 4
A bond you thought was made
But they all stayed
No one had your back it seems
A hefty price to pay ...
No calls for you to play
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
And oh ... he's leaving
He can't tell me why
But I'm the reason
So Goodbye
I want to die inside tonight
And oh ... I'm seething
He can't tell me why
Can't stop the bleeding
They took his side
I want to die inside tonight
REPEAT CHORUS
