Текст пісні
Once somebody told me
I read it in his eyes
Be careful what you're doing
Don't ever criticize
Forget all your illusions
They're just a mad confusion
Man is a killing beast
And there's no paradise
He thought he was a wise man
Who had fought so many fights
But he was just a child then
Who hadn't yet escaped the night
You're still so many lives away
You're still so many lives away
You're still so many lives away
And you're as blind as only man can be
Yesterday I met him
He hadn't changed his mind
They didn't even let him
Behold what he did find
He'd lost his girls, he'd lost his wife
Yeah, he'd lost everything
And nothing could remind you
That once they crowned him king
He thought he was a wise man
Who had fought so many fights
Yeah, he was just a child then
Who hadn't yet escaped the night
You're still so many lives away
You're still so many lives away
You're still so many lives away
And you're as blind as only man can be
He didn't recognize me
I had to realize he
Was staring like a madman
At me as just a sad man
He threw a stone and he did moan
And finally he hit my bone
He wouldn't listen and he screamed
He shouted out the crowds it seemed
And then he grabbed a knife
And dropped himself a life
But he could only kill his flesh
And now his hatred stays for years
And he doesn't find relief
No, he doesn't find relief
And he doesn't find relief
And he still cannot believe that
He's never been a wise man
Who had fought any fights
And he was just a child then
Who hadn't yet escaped the night
You're still so many lives away
