Elegy - Victim Of Circumstance lyrics

[Music, lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry] Sadly his mother watches helplessly, as her child demolishes the very fabric she believes in. Catching an occasional glimpse, she remembers with great pain, the anguish she felt, as the memories from her past re-appear. Frustration turns to confused anger. She still can't come to terms with the fact that her husband took his own life. "Why", she asks herself, "why didn't he tell me? Why couldn't anybody lend him a helping hand?" All the while her son is silently crying out for help. [Intro] Looking back in time, Without consent. two lovers ran away A tragic tale, so often made So sad and destined to fail [Verse] They're in and out of every place Searchin' hard a sad disgrace At best a darkened room, without a view Those memories, still remain Never once did she complain Now time repeats itself, all over again [Bridge] What he did, was insane Sadly his own life he'd take And you've been left to face the guilt, alone [Chorus] Just try to remember He was a victim of circumstance Close your eyes, try to recall The strength you felt Now, is the time to be stronger Than you've ever been before Bury all your anguish and fear, you're not to blame [Verse] Don't an*lyze, come to terms Face the truth, don't turn away Where there's a will, there has to be a way Into the world, your child came Responsibility or shame He backed away from you, don't lose him again [Ad-libs] You're not alone! you've got to be stronger
