lyrics

Say the word and break the spell
Draw the poison out
Just like they say, the truth will set you free
As soon as reason in your voice rings
Your soul from the shadow's grasp will spring
Unveil your eyes and you will clearly see

Why reach for it all and die discontent
At last aware of the nothing that it meant?
Go to your grave an honest man
And rest without regret
Go to your grave and never fret again

There is nothing you can do
To eliminate your past
What's done is done, it's all been done before
Drag your ghosts around with you
They'll only drag you down
Let go your inner turmoil
Or be a prisoner of your own war

When you die all your wealth and possession
Will fall to dust or to someone else's pleasure
Go to your grave an honest man
And know no one can take that
Go to your grave and never toil again

There's one fate that waits for us
We're only flesh and blood
The world will surely forget you
Forget you ever stood
But while your memory survives
Someone will keep your name alive
If they can look back on your life
And say you did some good

Why reach for it all and die discontent
At last aware of the nothing that it meant?
Go to your grave an honest man
And rest without regret
Go to your grave and never fret again

When you die all your wealth and possession
Will fall to dust or to someone else's pleasure
Go to your grave an honest man
And know no one can take that
Go to your grave and never toil again

Never toil again
