Melancholy Songtext
von Iced Earth

Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
For years I′ve tried to teach
But their eyes are empty
Empty too I have become
For them I must die
A sad and troubled race
An ungrateful, troubled place

I see the sadness in their eyes
(Hear the pain in their cries)
Devoid of all the passion
(The human spirit can yet die)
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for


Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
The things I′ve said and done
Don't matter to anyone
Still you push me to see
Something I can never be
Why am I this shattered king?
I don't mean anything

I see the sadness in their eyes
(Hear the pain in their cries)
Devoid of all the passion
(The human spirit can yet die)
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I′ll die for

I see the sadness in their eyes
(Hear the pain in their cries)
Devoid of all the passion
(The human spirit can yet die)
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I′ll die for


I see the sadness in their eyes
(Hear the pain in their cries)
Devoid of all the passion
(The human spirit can yet die)
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for
