Beyond The Realms Of Death [1978 'Stained Class' album, original UK pressing LP]
He's had enough He couldn't take anymore He's found a place And his mind has slammed the door No matter how they tried They couldn't understand They washed and dressed him Led him by hand
CH: Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm the saviour in my mind I feel the Styx with my own mind This is my life, this is my life Out with the sight like you
We drive and sit there Stare into a space No sign of life But flicker on his face Until one day he smiled It seemed as though with pride The wind kissed him Goodbye - and he died
CHORUS REPEAT Keep the world with love and sin It's not meant for livin' Yeah! I'm a soldier It can take forever, and ever, and ever And ever, forever to win.
SOLO (Glenn)
How many like him, Are they still But to our soul It seems to have lost the will They lie in thousands Angry and lost There's nothing worth this bitter cost.
