Man Of Sorrows

Accident Of Birth
Man Of Sorrows
(Dickinson)
Here, in a church, a small boy is kneeling
He prays to 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
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
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 (I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
A man of sorrows, wrecked
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 (I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace (left without a trace)
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face (I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace (left without a trace)
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
Has it just begun?
