[00:24.210]Once somebody told me,
[00:25.595]I read it in his eyes
[00:27.470]“Be careful what you're doing
[00:29.252]Don't ever criticize.
[00:31.073]Forget all your illusions
[00:33.020]They're just a mad confusion
[00:34.736]Man is a killing beast
[00:36.491]And there's no paradise”…
[00:38.410]
[00:39.041]He thought he was a wise man
[00:42.463]Who had fought so many fights
[00:46.166]Yet he was just a child then
[00:49.365]Who hadn't yet escaped the night.
[00:53.423]
[00:55.392]You're still so many lives away
[00:58.861]You're still so many lives away
[01:02.520]You're still so many lives away
[01:07.120]And you're as blind as only man can be!
[01:12.536]
[01:13.174]Yesterday I met him
[01:14.391]He hadn't changed his mind
[01:16.541]They didn't even let him
[01:18.230]Behold what he did find.
[01:20.028]He'd lost his cars, he'd lost his wife,
[01:21.893]He had lost everything
[01:23.634]And nothing could remind you
[01:25.307]That once they crowned him King…
[01:27.444]
[01:27.696]He thought he was a wise man
[01:31.273]Who had fought so many fights
[01:34.518]But he was just a child then
[01:38.191]Who hadn't yet escaped the night
[01:44.085]You're still so many lives away
[01:47.511]You're still so many lives away
[01:50.895]You're still so many lives away
[01:55.489]And you're as blind as only man can be!
[02:01.462]
[03:06.645]He didn't recognize me,
[03:07.926]I had to realize he
[03:09.795]Was staring like a mad man
[03:11.517]At me who's just a sad man.
[03:13.382]He threw a stone and he did moan
[03:15.180]And finally he bit my bone
[03:17.006]He wouldn't listen and he screamed
[03:18.829]Shoutin' at the crowds it seemed.
[03:20.729]And then he grabbed a knife
[03:22.311]And robbed himself of life.
[03:24.007]But he could only kill his flesh
[03:25.924]And now his hatred stays quite fresh.
[03:27.840]And he doesn't find relief, no, he doesn't find relief
[03:31.132]And he doesn't find relief
[03:33.237]And he still cannot believe that
[03:34.595]
[03:35.317]He's never been a wise man
[03:38.925]Who hadn't fought any fights
[03:42.674]And he was just a child then
[03:45.723]Who hadn't yet escaped the night
[03:51.597]You're still so many lives away
[03:55.159]You're still so many lives away
[03:58.735]You're still so many lives away
[04:03.244]And you're as blind as only man can be!
[04:07.851]
[04:09.479]You're still so many lives away
[04:13.042]You're still so many lives away
[04:16.556]You're still so many lives away
[04:20.992]And you're as blind as only man can be!
