When All Else Fails

Skyclad

Composição de: Martin Walkyier
To whom it may concern (whoever that may be) 
For I can think of no-one who has shown concern for me. 

My last will and testament I now bequeath 
To all those I trusted (to those who deceived me) 
Though by hope deserted of this I am sure 
That where I am going you'll hurt me no more. 

While your plotting my downfall I'm planning my wake 
Still you're trying to see how much more I can take 
In this game that we're playing I know I can't win 
And my dreams have all ended before they begin. 

One for the wish that would never come true 
Two for the kisses betraying a fool 
Three for the life that was my bed of nails 
For there's only one answer when all else fails. 

I fear I have been here too long for my own good 
Outstaying my welcome when all the time I should 
Have heeded my heart when it said take your bow 
But I'm sadder and wiser and listening now. 

In this life that you're leading you're fooling yourself 
If you think you are better than anyone else 
So shed not your tears for me now pretty child 
For when I was crying - remember, you smiled. 

The knife that I'm holding was never as sharp 
As the words from your cruel lips that punctured my heart 
Tell me where was your friendship in my hour of need 
When you stood and you laughed while watching me bleed? 

One for the wish that would never come true 
Two for the kisses betraying a fool 
Three for the life that was my bed of nails 
For there's only one answer when all else fails. 

Don't talk to me of loneliness - don't speak to me of tears 
For I have had enough of both to last a thousand years 
"If music be the food of love" then let a famine rage 
To starve my childish innocence before it comes of age. 

One for the wish that would never come true 
Two for the kisses betraying a fool 
Three for the life that was my bed of nails 
For there's only one answer when all else fails. 

I beg you forgive me - I apologise 
For wasting your time with such lengthy goodbyes 
But as I depart - unto destiny kneel 
I pray that one day you will know how I feel. 

Goodbye.
