IRON MAIDEN

- The Man Of Sorrows Lyrics

Like a man without a home
Watching people come and go
Carry on their daily lives
Without a thought for the ones alone

Cast the dream aside like throwing
A pebble into the ocean tide
And I'm feeling so alone again
Free the angry from their pain

Free the captives from the chains
Cast aside the doubt that
Nothing good can come their way again
Living in a world of lies

No matter how or hard we try
Living life without a dream today
Looking through a mist of truth
That we believe an elusive cloud
The things we find are hard to say now

That we live through day to day
Find it hard to force the reasons
Why we find it hard to die
Now we need to know the truth now
Open our eyes that we can see
So we live and breathe again

Better days for you and me
Can we even hope to deliver this
We are so far away
As one turns against the other
With a brother against brother
Situation like no other

It's a picture of despair
As we look to see the man of sorrows
Passing knowledge to those who don't know
As we watch all our friends passing over
As they pass through the edges of time
And we see what's ahead that awaits us
That no longer do we feel afraid
So we look to see the man of sorrows
And the light is the darkness no more

Most of the man of sorrows lyrics insist on unfolding the whole spectrum of emotions: despair, reflection, solitude, hope, and angst. Simultaneously, the composition underlines the necessity of facing one's plight alone, the presence of hope and the chance for redemption, struggle and despair, and finally, knowledge and understanding as the ways of God.
