Man Of Sorrows Lyrics - Accident Of Birth - Bruce Dickinson

Here, in a church, a small boy is kneeling 

He prays to a god he does not know, he cannot feel 

All of his sins of childhood he will remember 

He will not cry, tears he will not cry 

Man of sorrows, I won't see your face 

Man of sorrows, you left without a trace 

A small boy wonders, what was it all about? 

Is your journey over - has it just begun? 

Vision of a new world from the ashes of the old 

'Do what thou wilt!', he screams from his cursed soul 

A tortured seer, a prophet of our emptiness 

Wondering why, wondering why 

Man of sorrows, I won't see your face 

(I won't see your face) 

Man of sorrows, you left without a trace 

A small boy wonders, what was it all about? 

Is your journey over - has it just begun? 

A man of sorrows, racked 

With thoughts that dare not speak their name 

Trapped inside a body, made to feel only guilt and shame 

His anger all his life - 'I hate myself!', he cried 

'Do what thou wilt!' 

'Do what thou wilt!', he cried 

Man of sorrows, I won't see your face 

(I won't see your face) 

Man of sorrows, you left without a trace 

(Left without a trace) 

A small boy wonders, what was it all about? 

Is your journey over - has it just begun? 

Man of sorrows, I won't see your face 

(I won't see your face) 

Man of sorrows, you left without a trace 

(Left without a trace) 

A small boy wonders, what was it all about? 

Is your journey over - has it just begun? 

Has it just begun?
