May these words sound where I cannot go To bring you back home in your darkest hours And shall I know hell with a clear conscience Or heaven with regret Solace or d**h So listen up and listen well, my son For there are things that can not be undone And listen up and listen well, my son For there are places you don't come back from And shall you know hell with a clear conscience Or heaven with regret And shall you know hell with a clear conscience Or heaven with regret Solace or my pain So take these words from a man That's walked the paths so many times before And wants to change the stars For all who care to know... One day you will know the pain Of hindsight and retrospect So don't let life get in the way Of doing what you know to be right And shall you know hell with a clear conscience Or heaven with regret And shall you know hell with a clear conscience Or heaven with regret Solace or my pain So take these words from a man That's walked the paths so many times before And wants to change the stars For all who care to know... One day you'll see a friend that will pa** So treat each time just like the last Let not your pride stand in the way Or you shall then know my wisdom and regret One day you will know the pain Of hindsight and retrospect So don't let life get in the way Of doing what you know to be right One day you'll see a friend that will pa** So treat each time just like the last Let not your pride stand in the way Or you shall then know my wisdom and regret If I could say Just one thing It wouldn't be with words Just an embrace Until we meet again
