Elegy - Victim Of Circumstance Lyrics
Sadly his mother watches helplessly,as her child demolishes the very fabric she believes in.Catching an occasional glimpse, she remembers with great pain,the anguish she felt, as the memories from her past re-appear.Frustration turns to confused anger.She still can't come to terms with the factthat her husband took his own life."Why", she asks herself, "why didn't he tell me?Why couldn't anybody lend him a helping hand?"All the while her son is silently crying out for help.[Intro]Looking back in time,Without consent.two lovers ran awayA tragic tale, so often madeSo sad and destined to fail[Verse]They're in and out of every placeSearchin' hard a sad disgraceAt best a darkened room, without a viewThose memories, still remainNever once did she complainNow time repeats itself, all over again[Bridge]What he did, was insaneSadly his own life he'd takeAnd you've been left to face the guilt, alone[Chorus]Just try to rememberHe was a victim of circumstanceClose your eyes, try to recallThe strength you feltNow, is the time to be strongerThan you've ever been beforeBury all your anguish and fear, you're not to blame[Verse]Don't analyze, come to termsFace the truth, don't turn awayWhere there's a will, there has to be a wayInto the world, your child cameResponsibility or shameHe backed away from you, don't lose him again[Ad-libs]You're not alone! you've got to be stronger
