Victim Of Circumstance Lyrics - Singles - Elegy

Sadly his mother watches helplessly, 

as her child demolishes the very fabric she believes in. 

Catching an occasional glimpse, she remembers with great pain, 

the anguish she felt, as the memories from her past re-appear. 

Frustration turns to confused anger. 

She still can't come to terms with the fact 

that her husband took his own life. 

"Why", she asks herself, "why didn't he tell me? 

Why couldn't anybody lend him a helping hand?" 

All the while her son is silently crying out for help. 

Intro 

Looking back in time, 

Without consent. 

two lovers ran away 

A tragic tale, so often made 

So sad and destined to fail 

They're in and out of every place 

Searchin' hard a sad disgrace 

At best a darkened room, without a view 

Those memories, still remain 

Never once did she complain 

Now time repeats itself, all over again 

What he did, was insane 

Sadly his own life he'd take 

And you've been left to face the guilt, alone 

Just try to remember 

He was a victim of circumstance 

Close your eyes, try to recall 

The strength you felt 

Now, is the time to be stronger 

Than you've ever been before 

Bury all your anguish and fear, you're not to blame 

Don't analyze, come to terms 

Face the truth, don't turn away 

Where there's a will, there has to be a way 

Into the world, your child came 

Responsibility or shame 

He backed away from you, don't lose him again 

You're not alone! you've got to be stronger
