[Verse]
EmOnce upon a time my eDxistence
Was deAmfined by amH7bition and Emtrade
Now it’s Ggone just like this
The remnants Hmof the exoDdus
At a Closs, all Amalone and aEmfraid
[Chorus]
The Asus2fire has left me Emlong ago
Once CI was Gbristlin and Dbrave
Now I’m Cdestined to wither
On an Gerrand of Emfools
And to Amlie in a H7mariners Ggrave,    yeDah
[Interlude]

[Verse]
I was Emworn with the stress
And the Dweight of progress
In the Amforemost unH7certain of Emdays
ComaGtose, dark & still
Have the Hmmeans but lost the Dwill
To take the Cfight to Amimposing Emways
[Chorus]
The Asus2fire has left me Emlong ago
Once CI was Gbristlin and Dbrave
Now I’m Cdestined to wither
On an Gerrand of Emfools
And to Amlie in a H7mariners Ggrave,   Hey-Dey

Drawn, quartered and Gflayed
Doomed to Amlie in a Hmariners Ggrave
