Old Man: Tinker tailor… Hush cant you hear Words of judgement Wise and sincere
Every single winter has its spring I don’t care Everlasting continual ring I don’t care
Iʼm so grateful I Fell and rose and tried Won and laughed and cried Lost and swore and lied Now I have to confide: I loved I lived
Choir: … that is all a man can do
Old Man: Soldier, sailor… Hush can’t you hear Words of wisdom As it draws near Have you seen the truth a man can see I don’t care Have you been the best a Man could be I don’t care
Iʼm so grateful I Fell and rose and tried Won and laughed and cried Lost and swore and lied Now I have to confide: I lived It was me
Choir: … that is all a Man can do
Old Man: Those dire grins of mere cognition I gave my tears to superstition Those higher spheres, I can’t adore them I save my sins, I can’t abhor them
Fell and rose and tried Won and laughed and cried Lost and swore and lied Last eternal pride To love To live
Choir: Show me pain that is not true Show me a sense thatʼs not in you Show me joy that is not true Show me a sense thatʼs not in you Show me pain that is not true Show me a sense thatʼs not in you Show me life that is not true Show me a sense to love to live
Old Man: Hear the voice Theyʼre haunting me Never heard Wonʼt let me free Never felt So insecure Hear that voice Stop and let me breathe!
Finally peace and silence All around me Made them hush and killed the Source inside me Drowned in madness by the Force inside me Finally peace and silence All around my Grave…
