How sad is the life of the man that could not fail
How fatal his thoughts on this rainy day
The glaze in his eyes can not hide the lonely feeling
Where are they now in his hour of pain
Feel the cold as it slowly fills the holes inside
Fading hope - too many days without a sign
How sweet was his life in the years they were cheering
Too loud for him to hear the silence coming

Used to be the hero - in the centre of the universe
Since then, the spotlight moved on
A blind man in the shadow of the world
