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 k**ed the Source inside me Drowned in madness by the Force inside me Finally peace and silence All around my Grave…
