Epitaph

Judas Priest

The old man's sitting there, his head bowed down 
Every now and then he'll take a look around 
And his eyes reflect the memory-pain of years gone by 
He can't regain nostalgic dreams he'll never see again 

With trembling hands, he wipes a tear 
Many fall like rain, there's one for every year 
And his life laid out so clearly now, life that's brought death 
So nearly now life once he clung to dearly lets go 

But spare a thought as you pass him by 
Take a closer look and you'll say 
He's our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday 

A lonely grave, and soon forgot 
Only wind and leaves lament his mournful song 
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear 
For anyone who's passing near 
It names the person lying here as you 
And you...and you...and you...
