Lyrics Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden

The Man of Sorrows

Like a man without a home

Watching people come and go

Carry on their daily lives

Without a thought for the ones alone

Cast the dream aside like throwing

A pebble into the ocean tide

And I’m feeling so alone again

Free the angry from their pain

Free the captives from the chains

Cast aside the doubt that

Nothing good can come their way again

Living in a world of lies

No matter how or hard we try

Living life without a dream today

Looking through a mist of truth

That we believe an elusive cloud

The things we find are hard to say now

That we live through day to day

Find it hard to force the reasons

Why we find it hard to die

Now we need to know the truth now

Open our eyes that we can see

So we live and breathe again

Better days for you and me

Can we even hope to deliver this

We are so far away

As one turns against the other

With a brother against brother

Situation like no other

It’s a picture of despair

As we look to see the man of sorrows

Passing knowledge to those who don’t know

As we watch all our friends passing over

As they pass through the edges of time

And we see what’s ahead that awaits us

That no longer do we feel afraid

So we look to see the man of sorrows

And the light is the darkness no more
