Verse Once upon a time my existence Was defined by ambition and trade Now it’s gone just like this The remnants of the exodus At a loss, all alone and afraid The fire has left me long ago Once I was bristlin and brave Now I’m destined to wither On an errand of fools And to lie in a mariners grave, yeah Interlude Verse I was worn with the stress And the weight of progress In the foremost uncertain of days Comatose, dark & still Bave the means but lost the will To take the fight to imposing ways Chorus The fire has left me long ago Once I was bristlin and brave Now I’m destined to wither On an errand of fools And to lie in a mariners grave, Bey-ey Interlude 3/4 x4 Signature pattern for the rest of the interlude: 3/4 x2 3/4 x2 3/4 1/4 x1 3/4 x2 3/4 Verse Once I was branded in gold Now I’m abandoned and sold Servant, sentinel and slave Doomed to lie in a mariners grave Once I was a summer domain Now only winter remains Drawn, quartered and flayed Doomed to lie in a mariners grave
