lyrics

Here I stand, old and bitter
My wicked fingers ache and creak to pull the old strings taught.
How could I beat a higher bidder?
I gave to you my best years and you told me they were naught.
Nothing but fools possessions that you let slip through your fingers,
But you told me how the saints they love the sinners

I thought I’d found myself the king,
The rolling hero, Hercules;
Saviour to the gnashing teeth,
Bring the music, let them sing.

All these crooked paths I called a kingdom,
They’re all gone.
But my legs know only what I’ve taught them,
So I’ll walk on.

I thought i’d found myself the king,
The rolling hero, hercules;
Saviour to the gnashing teeth,
Bring the music let them them sing.
Here I am;
There you go

Here I am;
There you go.
