"Shadow Of A Man"

Oh ohh

Oh ohh

I was the first to watch you leave

Poor in soul, a dried up stream

You were the last of a dying breed

Prone to wander but born to lead

Oh ohh

Oh ohh

I still remember your innocence

Oh the days when your heart was in it

Oh but now you're like the falling sun

And the race to death has just begun

So light your torch and follow me

We'll burn the boats back to who we used to be

And all this time it was never what it seemed

Let's burn the boats back to who we used to be

Oh ohh

Oh ohh

Oh ohh

Oh ohh

And all the memories of the days you lost

You add them up and then you count the cost

You're just a shadow of a man undone

Another life that has just begun

So light your torch and follow me

We'll burn the boats back to who we used to be

And all this time it was never what it seemed

Let's burn the boats back to who we used to be

Let's burn the boats back to who we used to be

So light your torch and follow me

We'll burn the boats back to who we used to be

And all this time it was never what it seemed

Let's burn the boats back

Let's burn the boats back

Let's burn the boats back to who we used to be
