There's a man in the woods upon that hill

With a rope in his hands, with a will to kill some time:

To kill his only thing!

The thing that kept him moving on 

In a life that was moving towards its end 

From the beginning anyway...

The day is hot - He's so cold

He is too young - But feels so old

And far from being beautiful and bold!

Help - There ain't none for him

He's lost and he is done with it forever and for good

Made up his mind, oh yes!



Black soul - Blue skies

Cold sweat and dead inside

A wrong man in a big bad land 

Where many a good man failed



There's a man in the woods upon that hill

Determined to be doing the right thing

He's got a mission to fulfill now!

'Cos everyone's got the right to be a sucker once or twice

But this here man has lost his count so long a go! 

That same ol' shit from day to day

What purpose does he have to stay here 

Struggling one more day?

Well, get away...get away...

Them flies all buzzing round his neck 

And sweat is running down like hell

While the sun is shining hotter than in ages!



Black soul - Blue skies

Cold sweat and dead inside

A wrong man in a big bad land 

Where many a good man failed



He goes alone... He goes by his own way...

All alone in this vast land 

Where many a good man failed



Now there's a man in the woods...just swinging in the rain

They found him just today...

And noone seems to know his name or his face...



Black soul - Blue skies

Cold sweat and dead inside

Just a man in a big bad land 

Where many a good man failed



They go alone...From cradle to their graves...

Every day in this vast land 

Where many a good man failed
