[Verse 1]

Here we go, the people show

Victims of tomorrow

The way it goes, it never shows

Emptiness or sorrow

There is nothing left inside

Nothing left to cry for

So I justify my crimes

Things that I must die for


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 2]

So alone, away it goes

The life that you have wasted

You never know where it might go

The sweet success you've tasted

Tested by a bitter frown

Knowing I must die for

Can't confide to all the lies

No one to inquire


[Chorus]

As I wander, change of seasons

As I realize that I'll soon be there


[Verse 3]

I'll let you know, the reapers show

Makes you beg or borrow

He comes to see the tragedy

His fate he will not follow

Wearing your electric crown

The preacher starts to pray

Shiver as the lights go down

Heed these words I say


[Chorus]

As I wander, change of seasons

I can't ponder, got my reasons

As I realize I don't care

All I know is that I'll soon be there


[Instrumental Break]


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 4]

Now it's done, the time has come

The people stand in silence

Another dawn has come and gone

His fate has been decided

There is no one left inside

A brain without a mind

Traces of a bitter man

Are all that you will find


[Chorus]

As I wander, change of seasons

I can't ponder, got my reasons

As I realize I don't care

All I know is that I'll soon be there


[Outro]

And I'll soon be there

And I'll soon be there

And I'll soon be there
