I'm so tired of feeling this way all the time Running,winded from the sickness in my mind And it's a dark and it's an ugly thing, I know That we all have to face down some time, I suppose So let me go Cause you can't save me When they drag me from my bed in their dark robes Aw, let me go And some day maybe I'll return a stronger man, for all I know So wrap me up, babe, in white linens 'til I cannot see or speak So I will not hear them coming When my mortal will is weak Cause I feel them coming on like jackals Preying on the shape I'm in Tugging at my weathered heartstrings Tearing at my tired skin So let me go Cause you can't save me When they drag me from my bed in their dark robes Aw, let me go And some day maybe I'll return a stronger man, for all I know I have wronged those who might love me I have maimed my fellow man I have stolen, lied, and cheated For reasons that I don't understand But if I must pay for all my wicked deeds tenfold Let me die with a clear conscience When I'm five hundred years old Yeah, let me go Cause you can't save me When they drag me from my bed in their dark robes Ah, let me go and some day baby I'll return a stronger man for what I've known I will return a stronger man for what I've known
