Ghis eyes are old and tired, filled with Embitter recollection
GThe cross that he has carried was a Emburden I've made
It's a Cbaptism of tears, they are the Emseas in which I bathe
cause there's a Amfire in my heart but I can't Gbreathe for the Emsmoke
Seems that AmI'm living proof, my life's a Fpractical Emjoke
There's a Amwind in my sails but I have Glost all my Emdirection
With Amno stars to guide me, now Fyou're not here beside me Emanymore

his eyes are old and tired, filled with bitter recollection

The cross that he has carried was a burden I've made
