Thunderstone - Great Man Down lyrics

Another great man is gone But his songs will live forever And they'll never die For decades he carved His words in our hearts The master, the legend now lies With honour and pride He walked through his life Sometimes it was far too hard He stood like a man Defending his land Got beaten, rejected, got scarred Another great man is down Only hero around The soldier of our times Never listened, never cared For the words that they said So he paid for his crimes These are the stories and songs From the land of ten thousand lakes The stories where heroes will never die These are the stories and songs From the land of ten thousand lakes The stories and songs Where the great one will always rise Another man, brave and tall He took care of us all Never bent under pressure or pain With a heart like the sun He stood tall and wouldn't run Away from the wind and the rain There are the stories and songs... So the story goes on And years go by That's for sure Memories will live forever And we'll be singing along
