MAN OF SORROWS
(BRUCE DICKINSON)
(taken from Accident Of Birth)

Here in a church
A small boy lies kneeling
He prays for a god
He does not know
He cannot feel
All of his sins of childhood
He will remember
He will not cry - tears he will not cry

Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
A small boy wonders, what was it all about
Is you journey over, has it just begun
A vision of a new world, from the ashes of the old
Do what thou wilt
He screams, from his cursed soul
A tortured seer, a prophet of our emptiness
Wondering why, wondering why?

Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
A small boy wonders, what was it all about
Is you journey over, has it just begun
A man of sorrows racked
With thoughts that dare not speak their name
Trapped inside a body,
Made to feel only guilt and shame
His anger all his life I hate myself he cried
Do what thou wilt, do what thou wilt he cried

Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
A small boy wonders, what was it all about
Is you journey over, has it just begun
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
A small boy wonders, what was it all about
Is you journey over, has it just begun
VERSE: Am / F G Am [D]
CHORUS: Am G D F
