Epitaph
by Judas Priest
lyricscopy.com
The old man sitting there
His head bow down
Every now and then
He´ll take a look around
And his eyes reflect the memory pain of years gone by
He can´t regain nostalgic dreams he´ll never see again
With trembling hands
He wipes a tear
Many fall like rain
There´s one for every year
And his life laid out so clearly now, life that´s brought death
So nearly now life once he clung so dearly now let´s go
But spare a thought as you pass him by
Just get a closer look and you´ll say
He´s our tomorrow
Just as we were his yesterday
A lonely grave
And soon forgot
Only wind and leaves
Lament this mournful song
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear for anyone
Who´s passing near it names the person lying here as you
And you
And you
And you
His head bow down
Every now and then
He´ll take a look around
And his eyes reflect the memory pain of years gone by
He can´t regain nostalgic dreams he´ll never see again
With trembling hands
He wipes a tear
Many fall like rain
There´s one for every year
And his life laid out so clearly now, life that´s brought death
So nearly now life once he clung so dearly now let´s go
But spare a thought as you pass him by
Just get a closer look and you´ll say
He´s our tomorrow
Just as we were his yesterday
A lonely grave
And soon forgot
Only wind and leaves
Lament this mournful song
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear for anyone
Who´s passing near it names the person lying here as you
And you
And you
And you
