Let him live the rest in peace!

I've seen the mountains of germany
The castles of england
The markets of the middle east
The great seas
But the worst of all my feats
Was seeing my old man stop being free

They say that
When he was twenty five
He used to walk with pride
In every single stride
No one had every seen him cry
But that river of strength has dried
And without my mum by his side
He's completely gone, as if he died
His brain is completely fried
Fix it i tried
Moving the cogs i pryed
But my mum acting like a tide
With all the ups, downs and turn arounds
Has taken it's toll on my old mans pride
His eyes are dry from all he's cried
I'm suprised he's still alive
The will of a lion beating from the inside

I'll be here till you die
From me you needn't shy
Im here for you when you cry
Survive please i pray
And stand strong i say
Together we will battle this fray
And emerge to fight another day
In fighting we'll find another way

He can't keep it up
Thirty years is fucked up
His ticker must be fucked
Let alone his brain
Is it safe to call him sane
When he's suffering that much emotional pain
Drowning in a shower of rain
Forming words which stain
He has nothing to gain
But still his neck he cranes
Day in day out, shine or rain
He never gives in to pain

I'll be here till you die
From me you needn't shy
Im here for you when you cry
Survive please i pray
And stand strong i say
Together we will battle this fray
And emerge to fight another day
In fighting we'll find another way

It really is a shame
That she insists on this stupid game
Not seeing he gave up on fame
By her wish he came
To be around in our frame
Making the family all tame
Giving us all a good name
And she insists on throwing the blame
Well she was right off aim
Shes gone right ahead and set a flame
Causing the worst kind of family maim
And its all his fault she claims

I'll be here till you die
From me you needn't shy
Im here for you when you cry
Survive please i pray
And stand strong i say
Together we will battle this fray
And emerge to fight another day
In fighting we'll find another way
